Description

This sensor operates on the Doppler radar principle, emitting a continuous 10.525 GHz microwave signal and analyzing the frequency shift in the reflected wave to detect motion. This method provides superior performance compared to passive infrared (PIR) sensors, as it is not affected by ambient temperature and can sense movement through many non-metallic materials.

Designed for industrial-grade reliability, the module features strong resistance to radio frequency interference and environmental contaminants. Its digital output provides a simple high/low signal for motion events, making it easy to integrate into security systems, automation controls, and data acquisition setups using common microcontrollers and industrial PLCs.

Key Features

  • Doppler Radar Core: Utilizes a 10.525 GHz microwave frequency for accurate motion detection based on the Doppler effect.
  • Environmentally Robust: Performance is unaffected by temperature fluctuations, humidity, dust, or ambient light conditions.
  • Wide & Adjustable Range: Offers a configurable sensing distance from 2 to 16 meters via a precision tuning potentiometer.
  • Non-Contact Sensing: Safely detects motion without physical contact, suitable for a wide array of materials.
  • Simple Digital Interface: Gravity-standard 3-pin connector (Digital, VCC, GND) ensures quick, foolproof wiring.
  • Low Power & Safe: Compliant low RF power output ensures operational safety for users and equipment.
  • High-Value Build: Durable construction provides optimized performance-to-cost ratio for professional and hobbyist projects.

Applications

  • Industrial safety curtains and perimeter intrusion detection systems.
  • Traffic monitoring and vehicle speed measurement in smart city infrastructure.
  • Automatic door activation and people counting in commercial buildings.
  • Non-contact liquid level sensing in tanks and silos.
  • Production line object detection and automated process triggering.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage and how do I connect this sensor?

The sensor operates at a strict 5V DC (±0.25V) supply. It uses the DFRobot Gravity standard 3-pin interface: connect the red wire to 5V (VCC), the black wire to Ground (GND), and the green or yellow wire to a digital input pin on your microcontroller to read the motion detection signal.

How do I adjust the detection range, and what is the maximum distance?

The detection range is adjustable from 2 to 16 meters using the onboard potentiometer. Turn it clockwise to increase the sensitivity and range, and counter-clockwise to decrease it. The maximum reliable range under ideal conditions is 16 meters.

How does this microwave sensor differ from a standard PIR motion sensor?

Unlike PIR sensors that detect infrared heat changes, this microwave sensor uses the Doppler effect with a 10.525 GHz signal. This makes it immune to ambient temperature variations, allows it to detect non-living objects, and enables sensing through some non-metallic materials, providing more reliable performance in challenging environments.

Can this sensor be used outdoors or in industrial environments?

Yes, its performance is specifically designed to be unaffected by environmental factors like temperature swings, humidity, dust, and ambient light. Its robust construction and immunity to common RF interference make it suitable for outdoor security, industrial automation, and harsh environment applications.
