Description
Sensys Networks VSN240-M-2 MicroRadar® sensor incorporates an extremely low power, wide-band, fixedposition radar with a Sensys NanoPower (SNP) Protocol radio. The compact in-ground sensor works using the same principle as any other radar. High frequency RF pulses are transmitted, reflected off a target object, and the return pulses are measured by a time-gated RF mixer. RF reflections are analyzed to produce presence, distance, and motion measurements. The M-2 version incorporates a higher sensitivity radar design and a modified case with tabs to aid installation flush with the road surface.
MicroRadar® sensors are installed very close to the roadway surface and are capable of detecting trains, cars, trucks, and bicycles. MicroRadar® sensors are also capable of detecting and distinguishing large objects from small objects. MicroRadar® sensors have a programmable detection range between 4’ (1.2 m) and 10’ (3 m). The elevation of a detection zone is approximately 90 degrees and the azimuth is approximately 180 degrees.
