60GHz mmWave Radar Sensor for Fall Detection, FMCW Presence Sensor

The LD6002C is a 60GHz millimetre-wave radar module designed for non-contact fall detection. Using FMCW radar technology, it accurately monitors a person's presence and movement within a defined area, making it a practical addition to smart home systems and healthcare environments. Detection Performance The module detects a single person. It offers a wide detection angle of ±60° in both azimuth and elevation, with an effective detection range of under 2 metres when mounted at a height between 2.2 and 3 metres. This makes it well suited to monitoring confined spaces where reliable, hands-free observation is required. Technical Specifications Operating at a typical voltage of 3.3V with a current draw above 1A, the module transmits at 12dBm in FMCW modulation mode and features an antenna gain of 4dBi. Data is output in a serial ASCII format, allowing straightforward integration with host systems. Suitable Applications This radar sensor is particularly effective in care facilities, especially in toilets and bathrooms where privacy is important. It is also suitable for home security systems and broader home intelligence setups, providing dependable monitoring in environments that require heightened awareness.
