2.2.1. Free Space and Directional Sensitivity
The Baumer off-highway multi-object radar sensor is a very sensitive device to deliver superior
measurement accuracy and speed. The opening angle of the main beam is 6° (for 3dB signal
reduction, or approx. 9° for 20dB signal reduction). A typical directional sensitivity is shown
below.
Fig 5 Typical Directional Sensitivity of Sensor
Baumer recommends limiting intrusion of unwanted objects, into a rotational cone of approx.
60…70° from the lens for very weakly reflecting targets. Integration testing must be done to
ensure that the integration with available free space does not have impact on the measure-
ment.
