IPM-165 Analog Radar Module

Since the product launch of InnoSenT GmbH's IPM-165 in 2003, the 24 GHz ISM band sensor has been consequently developed and optimized. At that time it was the smallest radar sensor available worldwide. Today it still has a very compact design making it an ideal fit as an integrated motion sensor. It is still a standard and widespread radar device for movement detection. The main application is to trigger an automated technical process (e.g. automated door opener) in case of recognizing a movement within the field of view. It is a low-cost K-band transceiver for security and building automation applications with a detection range of less than 10 meters.

The simple CW-Doppler radar comes with an asymmetrical wide beam to detect moving objects. It can be hidden behind a cover or integrated in a housing. It features separate transmit and receive antennas for maximum gain. The IPM-165 is available in different frequency trimmings for worldwide use. It is equipped with an advanced LCO-oscillator with low current consumption.

The IPM-165 is part of the InnoSenT IPM series. Also available is the IPM-365 radar sensor, which is the 3 V power version for battery use of the IPM-165.
