## Summary

Ted Carlin, Senior Director of Marketing and Applications at Infineon Technologies, explains how 60 GHz pure CMOS radar is replacing cameras in applications like smart homes and laptops. He details the transition from BiCMOS to pure CMOS, which enables higher transmit efficiency, longer range, and on-chip processing for 'wake on motion' functionality. The discussion covers Antenna-in-Package (AIP) technology, which integrates antennas directly into the chip to save PCB space and power, allowing for sealed industrial designs.
