Users Manual
DF100-0 K-Band Doppler RF Transceiver Module Users Manual 1. Introduction DF100-0 series of microwave motion sensor modules are K-Band Bi-static DRO Doppler transceiver front-end module. These modules are designed for speed detection with direction of motion recognition, traffic applications and other innovative ideas. The module consists of Dielectric Resonator Oscillator (DRO), balanced mixers, and patch antenna, built-in LNA for high sensitivity and a pre-amplifier. 2. User interface and mounting 6-way 2.54 mm pin header is used for user interface and the four mounting holes of M3 screw size are as shown in Figure 2 Pin definition 1: ENABLE 2: +5V typical Mounting holes size M2.5, depth 3.5 mm 3: GROUND 4: I 5: Q 6: NOT IN USE Figure 2: Pin definition and mounting holes 3. Power Supply The recommended power supply is 5V. The minimum input voltage is 3.6 V and the maximum is 9 V. As there is a built-in voltage regulation in DF100-0 sensor module, fluctuation in the power supply will not affect the performance of the module. 1 of 6 DF100-0 K-Band Doppler RF Transceiver Module Users Manual 4. Using ENABLE (pin 1) When this pin is driven LOW (GND), this will activate the DRO and hence transmit the signal. On the other hand, when it is driven HIGH (typically +5V), the DRO will be de-activated. This feature can be used to reduce power consumption by introducing pulse to this pin. 5. Radiation Pattern The module to be mounted with the antenna patches facing to the desired detection zone. The user may vary the orientation of the module to get the best coverage. The radiation patterns of the antenna and their 3dB beamwidth are shown in below diagram.

Output Signals Doppler shift - Doppler-shift signals of ideally 90o phase difference between them appears at I & Q channels when movement is detected. These signals are pre-amplified by built-in IF amplifiers for better sensitivity and better isolation. The magnitude of the Doppler Shift after these amplifications is typically within 1mV peak to peak. Frequency of Doppler shift is proportional to velocity of motion. The magnitude of RF signal received by the Doppler-based transceiver depends on the detection distance and the Radar Cross Section (RCS) of the detected objects. The lagging/leading phase difference between I and Q signals provides information on the direction of motion (whether approaching or receding) 8. Radiation Safety Microwave radiation from the module is well below established safety standards for general public environment, like ANSI C95.1-1991 of USA and NRPB-G11 of United Kingdom. 9. Handling The module has been fully tested to specifications. Opening, tightening or loosening the chassis may result in performance deterioration. The module is an electrostatic sensitive device (ESD). Precautions shall be observed for handling and assembly. 10.
