K-LD2 Evaluation kit

The K-LD2 Evaluation Kit is a comprehensive and user-friendly solution designed to accelerate the development and evaluation of the powerful K-LD2 radar transceiver. As a fully operational movement detector, this kit provides engineers, developers, and researchers with all the essential tools to quickly set up, configure, and test radar-based applications in real-world environments. The evaluation board comes equipped with clear visual indicators: two digital outputs of the K-LD2 are displayed via integrated LEDs, ensuring instant feedback during operation. In addition, two potentiometers make it easy to fine-tune the sensor’s sensitivity and hold time, enabling flexible adaptation to different application scenarios.

A major advantage of this evaluation kit is the included powerful Control Panel software, which drastically reduces development time. Instead of manually going through the entire command list of the K-LD2, users can effortlessly adjust all parameters directly through the intuitive graphical user interface (GUI). Changes to sensitivity, thresholds, filters, and other parameters can be applied instantly and their impact can be observed in real time. The live spectrum visualization displays FFT spectrum data as well as ADC values, allowing immediate verification of performance and accurate interpretation of dominant movements.

The software also provides convenient unit conversions, enabling developers to analyze detection information not only in bins, but also in Hertz or kilometers per hour. This functionality simplifies integration into different projects and ensures a more effective evaluation process. Another time-saving feature is the ability to save different configuration profiles of the K-LD2 sensor. These profiles can later be reloaded for direct comparison or used to order preprogrammed K-LD2 sensors from RFbeam, further shortening time-to-market and reducing non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs.

By combining robust hardware with feature-rich software, the K-LD2 Evaluation Kit empowers developers to create innovative radar-based sensing applications with minimal effort. It is the ideal tool for anyone looking to harness the precision and flexibility of the K-LD2 radar transceiver, whether for industrial, automotive, or consumer electronics projects. With its real-time streaming capabilities, simplified setup, and powerful visualization features, the K-LD2 Evaluation Kit represents a reliable and efficient pathway from prototyping to market-ready solutions.
