1. General
The BR-1001 radar can be used to measure the radial velocity of any moving object located in the
radar beam coverage. The output of the radar is an analog signal with a frequency and amplitude
proportional to the radial velocity and distance of the moving object.
2. Microwave Safety Warning
Based on limits specified by the Federal Communication Commission (FCC) on
Radio Frequency (RF) emissions in a general population environment,
continued exposure to radiation should be avoided within 2.0 meter in front of
the radar. Radiation levels outside this region fall within regulations of 1
mW/cm
2
and are not considered safety hazards. When setting up the antenna,
special care should be taken to avoid situations where the antenna radiates
towards individuals. The antenna should be positioned such that bystanders are
located behind the antenna. During antenna setup, the antenna power cord
should be unplugged to avoid accidental hazardous exposures to radiations.
Always turn the antenna transmitter off during periods of inactivity. Direct
visual contact with the radar when transmitting should be avoided at all times.
