Unlike PIR sensors, mmWave
sensors able to penetrate
almost all environment
Seeed Competitive Advantages

Infineon FMCW Industrial Radar

Sensitivity – much finer movement detection than PIR*

01 Robustness – operational within harsh environment (e.g. high temp)

* People in room typing on keyboard cannot be detected by PIR

Algorithm – 90+% Accuracy

 Precision - reduce the interference of non-living objects

 Accuracy - differentiate between moving and stationary objects 02

 Adaptive – motion parameters are judged by self-learning
algorithm in different environment
Seeed Competitive Advantages

High Performing Antenna

Anti-interference – lower noise floor, micro motion can be sensed

03 Distance – further measurement compared with PIR

Range – larger and more regular scanning area (fewer false triggers)

Customizable Radar Sensor

 Customization* - support secondary development

Including radar parameter, protocol, antenna, function 04

* Automobile/military industry customization excluded
