Antenna Channels, Virtual Aperture, and What More of Them Actually Buys You
Channel counts are the specification most often quoted when radar modules are compared: one transmit and three receive, four and four, six and six. The comparison is meanin...
Where the Beam Actually Lands: Coverage from Beam Angle and Mounting Height
A datasheet gives you a beam angle and a mounting height. What you actually need to know is how much floor the radar covers, and how much of that footprint is usable. Those...
Distance and Speed from a Radar Echo: Two Equations, and What the Module Datasheets Publish
A radar echo carries two kinematic quantities: range — how far away the reflecting target is — and radial velocity, the component of the target's motion alo...
Updating Radar Firmware Without a Cloud: Self-Hosted OTA over MQTT
Most connected devices want you to push firmware through somebody's cloud. These do not ask for that. The sleep and fall radars fetch an image from a URL you hand them, and the comma...
