•The system transmits radar waves into the target area.
•All solid objects in that area reflect the waves.
•The system receives these reflected waves, processes the return, and
analyzes the data using principles of Doppler radar to detect moving
objects and identify possible targets.

•Relative motion is the changing distance between two objects. In other
words, it is the relative speed between these objects.
•A radar signal reflected off a stationary object (no relative motion) would
return at the same frequency as it was transmitted.
•When the target is approaching or moving towards the transmitter, the
radar signal reflected off the object will be compressed and the returned
frequency will be higher than the frequency that was transmitted.
•Conversely, a radar signal reflected off an object moving away from the
transmitter/receiver will be stretched.
•The reflected (returned) signal will be of a lower frequency than the
transmitted signal.

•Wall blockage occurs when a large reflective object obscures the view of the target
area. The reflective abject may be within the wall itself or in close proximity to the
wall. The RANGE-R2D sensor alerts the operator if such a condition exists.
•Since it is possible that the transmit signal is being blocked and not reaching
potential targets, target detection is not possible when blockage is detected.
•While operating in Scan Mode and with blockage detected, the word “Blocked”
will be displayed. If this occurs, the operator should move to a different spot on
the wall and try again.
•In some situations, a blockage alert indication may not occur even though the
signal is blocked. One such blockage could manifest if the system is held up directly

•In this situation, the transmit signal is completely blocked and little to no energy
reaches the receive antenna. Because the power threshold for a blockage signal
will not be exceeded, no alert is generated. Another scenario occurs when the wall
material is highly absorptive. Here, signal returns from the obscuring object are
greatly reduced by losses in the wall. The power threshold for a blockage signal is
not exceeded and no alert is generated.

The purpose of this section is to make the
user aware of phenomena that can affect the
performance of radar based sensors in
general, and phenomena that can affect the
RANGE-R2D specifically.
These phenomena do not affect every usage
of the sensor or every venue where it may be
used, but they are factors the operator needs
to be aware of to maximize the effectiveness
of the system.

Factors that can cause unwanted detections (False
Alerts)
This is a motion detector. It will pick up the movement of any object. This
includes but is not limited to:
•Animals
•Friendly personnel (in front or behind the operator)
The system target acquisition algorithm is designed to negate the following,
but these items may still appear as targets:
•The movement of trees and foliage caused by the wind
•Oscillating fans (inconsistent circular patterns)
•Vibrating equipment (duct work, compressors, etc)
Any of these moving objects, and others, may appear as targets on the
display. There is no way for the operator to determine this “clutter” from an
actual target.

Factors that can cause missed detections
Environmental factors can create a “noisy” Doppler environment and
can make it more difficult for the sensor to detect the targets of
interest:
•Ceiling fans can create a Doppler signal in their immediate vicinity of
greater strength than that of a stationary target, potentially causing the
target of interest in the same immediate vicinity to not be detected.
• RANGE-R2D looks for the unique ceiling fan signature and alerts the
operator that it’s present, indicates its location, and shows the
estimated area where detection may be affected as a shadowed area
on the display.
• Fluorescent lighting also creates a strong Doppler signature that can have
an effect more so on moving targets, if their movement speed aligns with a
Doppler frequency given off by the lights.
• RANGE-R2D looks for the signature emitted, and alerts the operator
to ensure they are aware reduced detection performance may occur.
