K-LC3 is a 2 patch Doppler module with a nearly symmetrical wide beam for low cost short distance applications. Its typical applications are movement sensors for security, lighting and building automation applications. This module may be an alternative or a complementary sensor for infrared PIR or AIR systems thanks to its outstanding performance/cost ratio.
The module is extremely small and lightweight. With its wide IF bandwidth it opens many new applications. The unique RFbeam circular polarized antenna forms allows much wider acquisition fields than the traditional linear polarized patch antenna. Powerful starter kits (ST100 and ST200) with signal conditioning and visualization on the PC’s are available.
