User Guide (Version 2.2) of the 
SiRad Simple® Evaluation Kit 

- 29 - 

4.3.7 How is the field of view of the SiRad Simple®? 

The  area  covered  by  the  radar  over  distance  is  dependent  on  the  field  of  view  of  the  sensor. 
Without a lens, the SiRad Simple® sensor has an opening angle of +/-30 degrees (-6dB). With the 
lens delivered with the sensor, this can be narrowed to about +/- 4 degrees. 
 

4.3.8 How can I get directional information from the SiRad Simple®? 

SiRad  Simple®  has  a  single  radar  transceiver  chip,  which  is  not  capable  of  giving  directional 
information  directly.  It  is  possible,  however,  to  use  more  than  one  SiRad  Simple®  sensor  to  get 
rudimentary directional information. 
 

4.4  Protocol & RAW data 

 

4.4.1 Can I use the the SiRad Simple® with own or third-party software? 

Yes. Please read the Protocol Description to get an idea how to control the sensor with your own 
software or third-party software like MATLAB. 
 

4.4.2 Can I activate raw data only or FFT data only output? 

Yes. Please read the Protocol Description about how to set up the sensor for raw data only or FFT 
data only output. You may choose between unwindowed raw data and windowed raw data as well 
as complex FFT data and magnitude / phase data output.

 

 

4.4.3 Can I use the sensor protocol with <any> device? 

Yes. The protocol can be used to talk to the sensor from any device, it does not need to be a PC. 
 

4.5  Schematics & Firmware 

 

4.5.1 Where can I find the schematics for the SiRad Simple®? 

You may apply for a non-disclosure agreement (NDA) with Silicon Radar to get the schematics. 
 

4.5.2 Where can I get the source code for the SiRad Simple®? 

The firmware on the SiRad Simple® sensor is not freely available but we are working on the SiRad 
library  with  a  user  friendly  C  programming  API  that  we  may  provide  to  our  customers.  We  do, 
however, provide the source code for the WebGUI and the Com2WebSocket tool.
