K-MD7 Radar transceiver

Key Features

  • Small and low cost digital 24 GHz traffic radar sensor
  • Measures speed, direction, distance and angle of moving objects
  • Perfect for speed signs or simple traffic counting applications
  • Maximum speed range of 200 km/h and distance range of 300m
  • Typical detection distance of 50m for persons and 150m for cars
  • Multi-target tracking for up to 8 moving objects
  • Target list output over serial UART interface
  • Pulsed FSK signal processing to lower power consumption
  • Integrated bootloader for firmware update
  • Wide operating voltage range of 3.2 to 5.5V
  • 34 x 30 degree antenna beam pattern

The K-MD7 is an evolution of the successful K-LD7 with a narrower antenna beam and enhanced processing power. This allows for higher detection distances and tracking of up to 8 objects to a maximum unambiguous range of 300m. The serial interface features the possibility to read out a target list with speed, direction, distance and angle information of all moving objects in front of the sensor or to digitally configure the sensors detection parameters.

There is no need to write own signal processing algorithms or handle small and noisy signals. A small footprint of 70 x 32 x 13.5 mm gives maximum flexibility in the product development process.

For fast prototyping an evaluation kit (K-MD7-EVAL) is available which features powerful signal visualization on a PC.
