CL6000 Denali Doppler Radar from Celeno

The CL6000 Denali Doppler Radar from Celeno is a single-chip connectivity and sensing solution for IoT end points, home automation, industry automation, multimedia devices, and commercial applications. This new chip family supports Wi-Fi 6/6E standard, audio streaming, and on-boarding use cases with BT and BLE 5.2 support.

The CL6000 Denali Doppler Radar family includes three variants - CL6025 chip, CL6020 chip, and CL6010 chip. Each device in the series enables the latest advancements and offers superior latency and robust connectivity even if there are the most crowded Wi-Fi deployments. These include high bandwidth 160MHz channels, 6-7GHz spectrum band, MU-OFDMA, MU-MIMO, Beamforming, 1024QAM, WPA3 encryption, and Target Wake Time (TWT) for efficient device power saving. 

  • CL6025 Chip: It supports 2T2R (2 Transmit and 2 Receive) MIMO configuration, tri-band selectable (2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz), BT/BLE 5.2, and Wi-Fi Doppler Radar – combined connectivity and sensing chip.
  • CL6020 Chip: It supports 2T2R (2 Transmit and 2 Receive) MIMO configuration, tri-band selectable (2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz), and BT/BLE 5.2 connectivity chip.
  • CL6010 Chip: It spports 1T1R (1 Transmit and 1 Receive) MIMO configuration, tri-band selectable (2.4 / 5 / 6 GHz) and BLE 5.2 connectivity chip.

Besides accurately locating people and distinguishing complex types of movement such as falls, gestures, and postures, the device can help monitor motions like breathing that are otherwise difficult to detect. The CL6000 product family supports true simultaneous operation of Wi-Fi connectivity and Doppler Radar. A single Wi-Fi device can be used to track an object’s location or sense its presence or motion characteristics without any additional Wi-Fi client. The 5GHz and 6GHz bands standard Wi-Fi enables the device to see through walls without requiring line of sight and/or dependence on light. Maximum traffic throughput of 2.4Gbps, internal RF front end, PCIe-2 / USB3 / USB2 / UART host interfaces, and Wafer Level Chip Scale Package (WLCSP) are the key features of the Denali CL6000 product family. The sampling of the CL6000 product family will start in the first quarter of 2022.
