K-MC3 is a 108 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 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 < 4 us wakeup time makes this module ideal for battery operated equipment. Typical duty cycle in RWS mode may be < 5 % with full movement detection capability by sampling the IF signals.
An extremely slim construction with only 6 mm depth gives you maximum flexibility in your equipment design.
Powerful starterkits with signal conditioning and visualization are also available.
