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 lightweight plastic housing,
features an electronically tunable dielectric resonator
stabilized FET oscillator, which provides stable operation
over a broad temperature range in either CW or low duty
cycle pulse mode and a balanced mixer for enhanced
sensitivity and reliability.

Operation
The basic principle of operation consists of detecting the frequency shift between a transmitted and a received signal
reflected back from a moving object within the field of view of the unit. This produces a low level output signal that
can be amplified and processed.
The tunable transceiver incorporates provision for electronically tuning the unit over a frequency range of approximately
5MHz. This enables frequency modulation to be applied to the transceiver or fsk ranging to be performed.
The unit employs low cost surface mount manufacturing techniques that are field proven as being rugged and reliable.
