V60G-HOME User Guide Chapter 1 Introduction This guide provides information on the installation and operation of the Vayyar V60G-HOME modules. V60G-HOME is a family of multi-antenna millimeter-wave modules operating at 60GHz, based on the company’s VYYR7201 RF SoC, generating a 3D image of the sensor’s vicinity by transmitting and receiving mm-wave signals from multiple antennas (MIMO), used as a fixed field disturbance sensor or a short-range device for interactive motion sensing.
V60G-HOME 1.2 User Guide Glossary Table 1: Glossary Term Definition AC Alternating Current API Application Programming Interface DC Direct Current DLL Dynamic Link Library EVK Evaluation Kit GUI Graphical User Interface IP Internet Protocol. An IP address is a numerical identifier assigned to a computing device or node in a TCP/IP network. The address is used to locate and identify the node in communications with other nodes on the network.
V60G-HOME User Guide Chapter 2 System Overview 2.1 System Architecture The V60G-HOME system may be operating with a host-PC and dedicated control and imaging SW and GUI (for example an “EVK” architecture), or by running an imaging engine on a dedicated DSP embedded into the proprietary VYYR7201_CTPB2 (or B4) chips and using a dedicated API to extract the processing outputs (“embedded architecture”), or any combination of the two.

Optional, customer-developed software that communicates with the EVK Engine via a TCP/IP connection. A typical “Embedded” architecture is depicted in the following figure: Host Controller / CPU SPI , USB [Application] Vayyar sensor module LAN \ WLAN \ Cellular Central processing unit \ server \ cloud Figure 2: V60G-HOME “Embedded” System Architecture Exampl
V60G-HOME 2.2 User Guide Hardware The figure below presents a high-level block diagram of the PCB that houses the USB-based sensor unit: Figure 3: High-Level Block Diagram – USB-based system An SPI-based module is similar, excluding the USB-related components. The following components are embedded in the sensor unit PCB: Vayyar VYYR7201-B2 / B4 system-on-chip (SoC). 46 embedded Tx/Rx linear polarized PCB embedded, wide-band antennas. A Crystal used as a clocking source for the Cypress MCU.
V60G-HOME 2.2.1 User Guide Sensor Unit Specification Table 2: Sensor Unit Specification Parameter Specification Notes Transceivers 24 Tx, 22 Rx Frequency Band 57 - 64 GHz Field of View (FoV) Refer to section 2.2.5 Antenna and RF Characteristics Configured by software. Default application is set to narrower bandwidth. Range Resolution Depends on the configured BW For example, for BW of 2GHz the range-resolution is 7.
V60G-HOME 2.2.2 User Guide Digital Interface The V60G-HOME models use either USB 2.0 or SPI as digital-interface, connecting the host module to the sensor module. The USB interface is implemented on the module using an MCU and a micro-USB connector. The SPI interface is connected directly to the VYYR-7201-B2 or B4 chip, through a board-mounted multi-pin connector. Micro-Controller Unit (MCU) Cypress’s EZ-USB FX3™ MCU integrates the USB 2.
V60G-HOME User Guide Figure 5: vBLU_OK _CTPB4 connector The exact pinout is provided with the module itself and a reference design. 2.2.3 RF Interface - Antennas The array of 46 antennas serves to connect the sensor unit with the environment. The antennas are embedded in the PCB, as depicted in the figure below. Figure 6: Antenna Positions and Numbering For each transmitting (TX) antenna, there are multiple receiving (RX) antennas for collecting and recording the received RF signals.
V60G-HOME 2.2.5 User Guide Antenna and RF Characteristics The following are antenna and RF characteristics, based on the simulation of a single antenna over an infinite ground plane: Table 4: Antenna and RF Characteristics Parameter Value Comment Gain 5 dBi @62 GHz At 0˚ Elevation, 0˚ Azimuth Antenna -5dB beamwidth 160 deg. @64 GHz (E-plane) 80 deg. @64 GHz (H-plane) Polarization Linear Max Tx Power 8 dBm On chip output.
V60G-HOME 2.3 User Guide Software The V60G-HOME system software performs signal processing and generation of the arena image, either on a host-device, or on an embedded DSP processor. The software generates a 3D image and a point-cloud corresponding to the detected objects in the arena, and may extract further details through more advanced algorithms (for example – falldetection, breathing waveform monitoring etc).
V60G-HOME User Guide Chapter 3 Regulatory section The device is certified under FCC part 15 section 15.255, as - FCC-ID : 2AHIS-V60G-HOME. This V60G-HOME device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
V60G-HOME 3.1 User Guide Instructions for the Integrator The OEM integrator is responsible for ensuring that the end-user has no manual instructions to remove or install module. OEM Integrators Notices This device is intended only for OEM integrators under the following conditions: The transmitter module may not be co-located with any other transmitter or antenna. As long as this condition above is met, further transmitter testing will not be required.
