Ai-Thinker Rd 04 10G Human Body Motion Sensor
The Ai-Thinker Rd 04 10G Human Body Motion Sensor is a high-precision radar-based motion sensing module designed for human presence detection in smart homes, security systems, and IoT applications. It is built around the XBR818 X-band radar chip with a central frequency of 10.525 GHz, offering reliable and directional motion detection.
The module features a fixed-frequency, directional 1T1R (1 Transmit, 1 Receive) antenna design and integrates advanced functionalities such as intermediate frequency (IF) demodulation, signal amplification, and digital signal processing. These features make the Ai-Thinker Rd 04 Motion Sensor highly stable, consistent, and accurate in detecting human body movements.
The Ai-Thinker Rd 04 supports non-penetrative detection, meaning it does not detect motion through walls, which ensures privacy and accuracy in confined environments. Its superior anti-interference capabilities, clutter suppression, and harmonic filtering enable precise motion tracking even in complex or noisy RF environments.
The module also allows for custom delay settings and an adjustable detection range, offering flexibility in application scenarios. Operating in pulse-powered mode, the Rd-04 achieves ultra-low power consumption at the microampere level, making it ideal for battery-powered, cost-sensitive projects in IoT and smart device development.
