WAVEGUIDE TRANSCEIVERS TM Fixed Frequency ® MDU19xx Series Features Low cost Standard Waveguide output Rugged, Reliable Construction Low Power Consumption High Sensitivity Description The MDU (Motion Detector Unit) is an X-Band microwave transceiver that utilizes the Doppler shift phenomenon to "sense" motion. The unit, contained in a rugged diecast housing, features a dielectric resonator stabilized FET oscillator, which provides stable operation over a broad temperature range in either CW or low duty cycle pulse mode. The unit is available as a “transmit only” unit, with a single mixer or with a pair of orthogonal mixers for direction sensing applications.

The MDU1900 unit produces two low level output signals which can be amplified and processed to provide an audible or visual alarm. These signals are nominally orthogonal in phase and the direction of the detected target can be ascertained from the lead/lag between the two outputs The MDU1910 unit produces a single low level output signal which can be amplified and processed to provide an audible or visual alarm. The MST1950 unit includes the transmitter only and can be used with a separate receiver as one end of a microwave link. All the units employ low cost surface mount manufacturing techniques which are field proven as being rugged Electrical Characteristics Transmitter Operating Voltage Operating Current (CW) Mechanical Characteristics Weight : 85 grams Tab Connections : 0.1” spacing Environmental Characteristics Power Drift (over operating temp. range) : 3dB Frequency Drift (over operating temp. range) : 10MHz Operating Temperature : -10ºC to +55ºC Storage Temperature : -30ºC to +70ºC : +5V ±0.25V : 60mA max. : 50mA typ.
