Narrow beam radar sensors for industrial and mobile applications

Radar (Radio Detection and Ranging) technology enables precise distance measurement by emitting radio waves and analyzing their reflections. Doppler effect occurs when the frequency of the radio wave changes due to the relative motion between the sensor and the object. Change in frequency is measured and calculated by the sensor and outputs the speed of an object.
