MA161BT-XA-CN00AAMD is a 60 GHz radar module with two transmit and two receive 45° polarized PCB antennas and a wide 120° × 120° field of view. The development code outputs the position, distance, and speed of reflecting targets, so you can build your own presence and tracking logic on it. Kymopsis sells it as a development kit.
What you are buying
This is a development board, not a bare module. The development kit price covers the radar board plus the support around it: a configuration GUI, application firmware builds, a flashing guide, and light engineering changes for your setup.
Source code is not included. Kymopsis does not supply embedded firmware source code or GUI source code with any edition. If you need source code, custom firmware, or the bare module in volume, send the B2B form or email [email protected] for a custom quote. Module-only volume pricing is much lower, and the support level is agreed separately.
Where it is used
- Presence detection and people tracking in rooms
- Zone and perimeter protection
- Anti-pinch detection for doors, lids, and moving parts
- Obstacle avoidance for small robots and appliances
- Experimental sleep and fall-event algorithms for research (see the note below)
Not a medical device
Breathing, heart-rate, sleep, and fall-related outputs from this board are experimental signals for evaluation and research. The board is not a medical device, is not cleared or approved by any health authority, and must not be used to diagnose, monitor, or treat any condition, or as a safety or emergency alarm. Results vary with mounting, distance, posture, movement, and the scene.

Regulatory status
This module is not FCC certified and this page does not claim CE or any other certification. It is not an authorized transmitter for unrestricted installation or operation. It is sold as a development kit for engineers, developers, and integrators.
If your finished product needs its own equipment authorization, use the B2B program. Kymopsis can scope the integration and support the laboratory and TCB process. Kymopsis does not issue FCC grants.
Questions
Is this module FCC or CE certified?
No. It is sold as a development kit for engineers and integrators, not as an authorized end product.
Why does the kit cost more than the bare module?
The kit price includes the GUI, firmware, flashing guide, and light engineering help. Bare modules in volume are quoted separately through B2B, with lower pricing and a support level agreed per project.
