Specification
A radio motion sensor (RCR) is a sensor that uses microwave waves to detect movement or the presence of objects in its surroundings.
The operation of a microwave sensor is based on the Doppler principle, which states that the frequency of an electromagnetic wave changes as a result of the movement of a wave source or observer. A microwave sensor generates high-frequency microwave waves and receives the reflected waves from surrounding objects. It then analyzes the changes in the frequency of the reflected waves to detect movement.
A microwave sensor can have custom parameters such as wave frequency, emission power, and sensitivity. This allows the sensor to be tailored to the specific application and environment in which it is used.
The advantage of microwave sensors is that they work through different materials, such as glass, plastic, or wood, making them more versatile than PIR sensors. RCRs can be more susceptible to interference from other microwave sources, such as microwaves or communication antennas.
Application
Microwave sensors are widely used in alarm systems, lighting and home automation. They can be mounted outside or inside buildings, depending on the specific application. When motion is detected, the microwave sensor can send a signal to the alarm system, turn on the lights or trigger other automatic actions.
