RSP1 Radar Processor

Datasheet

2.2 RSPx Family

RSP1 is the first member of RFbeam Radar signal processors.

The RSPx family helps users concentrating on their application know-how instead of investing time and

money in raw signal processing.

RSP1 contains all signal processing for Doppler Radar. It covers slow movement detectors as well as

speed estimators up 250km/h.

It can be used as stand alone processor or as a co-processor in higher complexity systems.

User has only to add an input amplifier and digital output drivers and gets a high performance detection

system.

Evaluation and development is supported by the RSP1 Evaluation Kit reference design.

2.3 Key Data



12 Bit ADC

2.4 RSP1 Evaluation Kit

RSP1_Eval-Kit; Left: K-LC2 sensor on front connector; Right: Backside equipped with K-LC6 sensor

With RSP1 Evaluation Kit, you may explore most features of RSP1 working with different RFbeam

sensors. 5 different sensors are included in the kit.

Using a RSP_Terminal you have access to more than 30 parameters. Explore FFT, noise and other

signals with the RFbeam SerialScope PC Software, that.also makes part of the kit.

All schematics, PCB layout and BOM are included as a reference.
