Human range detection and tracking
The system is designed for use cases such as presence detection, motion detection, proximity sensing and
direction of movement detection for a single human target in 1D. It enables detection and tracking of a human
walking within a linear distance of over 20 m in an indoor or outdoor environment. The detection range
decreases if the human is walking at an angle with respect to radar. Figure 16 shows the detection range for a
human target with respect to the detection area.
