Description

K-MC1_LP is a low current, doppler module

with an asymmetrical narrow beam for long

distance sensors. It is ideally suited for traffic

applicatons.

This module includes a RF low noise amplifier

and two 47dB IF pre-amplifiers for both I and Q

channels. The need for external analogue

electronics will be significantly reduced by this

feature.

K-MC1_LP needs 10 times less current than

our standard K-MC1 sensor and works from

3.3V or 5V power supplies.

An extremely slim construction with only 6mm

depth gives you maximum flexibility in your

equipment design.

Powerful starter kits with signal conditioning

and visualization are available.
