The VTRIG-74 is a revolutionary tool incorporating Vayyar’s highly integrated RFIC technology and radar IP into a
compact evaluation kit. This kit enables researchers around the world to explore and realize millimeter wave imag-
ing and sensing applications without the cost and overhead that would otherwise be associated with developing the
required hardware.
Mini-Circuits and Vayyar bring 3D millimeter wave
imaging and sensing to the global market
SEEING THE FUTURE
mmWave Imaging Solutions
• Includes 20 Tx and 20 Rx on-board antennas that can be configured
to transmit and receive signals anywhere within the 62 to 69 GHz range.
• Provides unmatched flexibility for hardware developers and researchers
with three performance-optimized transmit profiles and direct access
to the Tx/Rx pair phasors for each swept frequency point.
• The High resolution profile uses 20 Tx and 20 Rx antennas ideal for
high-resolution 3D imaging.
• Medium and fast scan profiles using 10 or 4 Tx antennas are ideal for
applications such as 2D imaging or object tracking, which don’t require
high angular resolution.

mmWave Evaluation Kit VTRIG-74
Functional Description
The VTRIG-74 mmWave sensor evaluation kit (EVK) includes the entire mmWave front-end and analog baseband
signal chain for paths up to 40 antennas. A high performance synthesizer generates frequency stepped CW wave-
forms and sweeps over frequencies and Tx antennas. The Rx resolution bandwidth, start and stop frequency points,
number of frequency points, are fully adjustable with 3 transmit pro���les, allowing for maximum flexibility to the user.
The Vayyar Application Programming Interface (API) when installed on a PC provides programmatic access to the
Vayyar EVK engine, allowing for integration of Vayyar’s non-contact RF sensors into user-developed systems
1
. This
easy-to-use tool (API) operates on Windows and is compatible with both Python and Matlab to accommodate a wide
range of university and research settings.
