1 Product Description
Radar-Based Sensors for Detection of Moving and Stationary Targets
Placeholder
• FMCW (true-presence) radar detects moving and stationary objects
• Adjustable sensing field — ignores objects beyond setpoint
• Easy setup and configuration of range, sensitivity, and output with simple DIP
switches
• Easy setup and configuration of range, sensitivity, and output using a PC
• 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
Protected by US patents.

1.2 Overview
The R-GAGE sensor emits a well-defined beam of high-frequency radio waves from an internal antenna. Some of this
emitted energy reflects back to the receiving antenna. Signal processing electronics in the sensor determine the distance
from the sensor to the object based on the time delay of the return signal. The sensor can be configured (using a PC) to
sense objects up to a specific distance, ignoring objects beyond this distance (also called background suppression).
