Radar-Based Dual-Zone Narrow-Beam Sensors for Detection of Moving and Stationary Targets

• FMCW (true-presence) radar detects moving and stationary objects

• Narrow 11° × 13° beam pattern

• Analog and discrete outputs for measuring objects up to 100 m (328.1 ft) away

• Easy setup and configuration of range, sensitivity, and output with simple DIP switches

• Sensing functions are unaffected by wind, falling rain or snow, fog, humidity, air

temperatures, or light

• Sensor operates in Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) telecommunication band

• Rugged IP67 housing withstands harsh environments

Overview

The R-GAGE sensor emits a well-defined beam of high-frequency radio waves from an internal antenna. Some of this emitted energy is

reflected back to the receiving antenna. Signal processing electronics determine the distance from the sensor to the object based on the

time delay of the return signal.

The analog output is scaled over the entire sensing range. The discrete output is pre-set to default distances at the factory and can be

reconfigured for different distances using the DIP switches on the side of the sensor. The sensor is plug-in ready for immediate

operation.

The sensitivity is precalibrated at the factory, assuming that the sensing field will be clear of obstacles. The sensitivity can be adjusted

using the DIP switches on the side of the sensor.
