X-Band Motion Detector

X-Band Motion Detector

The X-Band Motion Detector operates in the X-band frequency, at 10.525 GHz and indicates detected movements with oscillations in its high/low output. The X-Band Motion Detector's sensor is a common ingredient in security systems and automatic door openers, and can detect movements in a room, yard, or even on the other side of a wall. Sensitivity is manually adjustable with a potentiometer, offering direct line of sight detection from roughly 8 to slightly over 30 ft (~2.4 to 9+ m).

Features:

Operation frequency of 10.525 GHz

Able to detect motion through walls and windows

More immune to false triggers than passive infrared motion sensors

Active-high enable pin with internal pull-up resistor

Trim potentiometer for manually adjustable sensitivity

4-Pin SIP header for breadboard or through-hole prototyping

Built-in series resistor for compatibility with the Propeller microcontroller and other 3.3 V devices

Plated test point hole for monitoring pre-comparator signal

Application Ideas:

Security systems

Automatic door openers

Automatic lighting

Nuisance animal deterrence
