K-MC1 is a 60 patch doppler module with an asymmetrical narrow beam for long distance sensors. It is ideally suited for traffic supervision. This module includes a RF low noise amplifier and two 47dB IF preamplifiers for both I and Q channels. The need for external analogue electronics will be significantly reduced by this feature. For special signal condition applications, an additional buffered Mixer DC output is provided. This greatly improves flexibility in FSK ranging applications.
The unique „RSW“ Rapid Sleep Wakeup function with <4us wakeup time makes this module ideal for battery operated equip-ment. Typical duty cycle in RWS mode may be < 1% with full movement detection capability by sampling the IF signals. An extremely slim construction with only 6mm depth gives you maximum flexibility in your equipment design. Powerful starter kits with signal conditioning and visualization are available (ST100/ST200).
