Doppler-can.jpg

Doppler sensor guts and aluminum housing. Can mount housings directly to bamboo structure or rivet with brackets.

The data has a baseline voltage of about 0.16 and a peaks of about 0.6 volts. Maximum output range is presently 0 to 3.5 volts DC and can be scaled up or down.

The baseline of 0.16vdc represents the "noise floor" of the sensor. This is the voltage output with no observable motion out to about 10 meters away, assuming an object the size of 1 person.

Doppler-data.jpg

Sensor output data, shows a person about 4 meters from sensor taking one step forward, one back, then waiting about 10 seconds and repeated three times.

The dopplers are designed to output a smoothed wave which indicates a combined "motion" and "size/distance" value. A small object, moving any direction, close to sensor, will read similarly to a larger object moving faster, proportionately further away.

The Doppler system should be able to recognize certain type of synchronized group motions. For example, if 8 people start walking towards the tower pillars (those with Doppler attached) then the signal on all 8 dopplers will start growing in amplitude. As soon as they stop walking, no matter where, signal outputs return to baseline.

As far as power goes, the sensors need 5 volt DC and ground, current needs are about 40ma each. As far as signal output goes, the sensors output either a single-ended or differential voltage drive output, to be received by A/D host.

8 of these sensors in total are planned, possibly 4 pointing in and 4 pointing out.
