What is most important about the Doppler effect is that the frequency change happens only when there is relative motion between the objects. How much the frequency is increased or decreased is directly proportional to the speed of that relative motion. If the vehicle is traveling away, the returning beam will be expanded. Technical Note: If the vehicle is traveling toward the radar unit, the returning beam will be compressed. A copy of the certified log, photographs that show the violation and a close-up of the rear of the vehicle will be provided as evidence for any adjudication of a radar ticket. The camera will not take a photograph if the system malfunctions.


When the radar control unit detects a vehicle in the beam traveling at or greater than the speed specified for that location, it instructs the camera control unit to take two photographs of the detected vehicle. Deployment logs are completed and validated by trained civilian technicians to ensure proper setup, testing, and operations of the unit during the deployment period. The unit takes 200-300 speed calculations per second. The Fixed Installation Pole/ Portable InstallationĪ 5° wide K-Band Radar beam using Doppler radar is projected at 20° angle across the road from the front of the stationary radar unit. The MPDC plans to use various types of installations. The radar unit may be set up on a tripod, in a fixed installation, in a portable installation or mounted in a vehicle positioned at the side of the road. Also with photo radar, the offending vehicle is tracked much closer to the photo radar equipment, generally no more than 100 feet from the photo radar equipment. Conventional hand-held radar, in contrast, transmits a very wide beam at a very long distance down the road-often requiring the operator to distinguish among speeding and non-speeding vehicles-all traveling at a wide range of speeds. 1xMW0582TR11 - 5.Although photo radar uses the same Doppler principle as traditional radar, its unique feature is that it transmits a very narrow beam across the road, thereby eliminating the risk of tracking two vehicles at once.If there is a moving object in front of the microwave sensor, there will exist a violent waveform which means the moving object has been detected. When using Python SDK, you will get a plot above. Under sensitive in higher background temperatures.Ĭonsistent detection over all temperatures.Ĭan be insensitive when walking directly towards the sensor.Ĭan sense movement through walls and other objects except for metal.

As a matter of fact, this microwave sensor can simply plug into the Arduino board or Raspberry Pi through the serial port. This microwave sensor not only has a sharp “eye” to detect the moving object but also easy to be developed because of its UART interface. It can also tell apart the environment effect such as moving branch and would not cause false-alarm thanks to the algorithm. Moreover, this kind of microwave sensor has an MCU inside which include intelligent algorithm to avoid noise gain caused by the device itself. This means the microwave sensor performed well in detecting a specific area. In order to get the accurate data from the object, this Doppler radar motion sensor has a self-made patch antenna which has a good antenna directivity. It can detect the difference between the transmitted wave and reflection wave to judge whether there is an object moving over the microwave sensor. This microwave sensor is a microwave module that can transmit the electromagnetic wave of 5.8GHz.

MW0582TR11 - 5.8GHz microwave doppler radar motion sensor is designed by the Maxustech company. High sensitivity and precision: MCU built-in intelligent algorithm for wiping out noise interference.Easy for development: UART interface, plug, and read data.Good antenna directivity: less volume but better antenna directivity due to the craftsmanship of the antenna.Microwave radar: 5.8GHz doppler microwave radar.
