I recently picked up a couple of microwave motion sensor radar modules. You have seen (and perhaps tried) it before. This post is about the HFS-DC06 (DC5V/5.8GHz) Microwave Radar Sensor Switch Module!

In the days before integrated circuits became ubiquitous, providing advanced functionality in a single package, designers became adept at extracting the maximum use from discrete components. They’d ...

If you’ve ever cast your eyes towards experimenting with microwave frequencies it’s likely that one of your first ports of call was a cheaply-available Doppler radar module. These devices usually ...

MACOM Technology Solutions Inc. has introduced a new wideband front end module (FEM) that operates across a frequency range of 2 to 18 GHz, suitable for electronic countermeasures and phased array ...

Even a small array consisting of 100 elements has thousands of individual components that require perhaps 25,000 measurements per module for an eye-watering grand ...

Microwaves are a type of electromagnetic radiation, as are radio waves, ultraviolet radiation, X-rays and gamma-rays. Microwaves have a range of applications, including communications, radar and, ...

Radar, at its simplest, involves sending out pulses of radiation that reflect off an object. The reflected signal is detected, and the time of flight is measured. The time of flight is then translated ...
