5 Use and configuration
5.1 Typical Application Circuit
The LD2410C module directly outputs the detected target state through an IO pin (high level for someone, low level for no one), and can also output the detection result data
through the serial port according to the specified protocol. The serial port output data includes Target status and distance auxiliary information, etc., users can flexibly use according to
specific application scenarios.
The power supply voltage of the module is 5V, and the power supply capacity of the input power supply is required to be greater than 200mA.
The module IO output level is 3.3V. The default serial port baud rate is 256000, 1 stop bit, no parity bit.
5.2 The role of configuration parameters
The user can modify the configuration parameters of the module through the serial port of LD2410C to meet different application requirements, and the configuration content will not be lost when the power is
turned off. The configurable parameters include the following:
The furthest detection distance
Set the farthest detectable distance, only the human targets appearing within this farthest distance will be detected and the result will
be output. Set it in units of distance gates, each distance gate is 0.75m.
Including the longest distance door for motion detection and the longest distance door for static detection, the range can be set from 1 to 8. For example, if the longest distance door is set to
2, only when there is a human body within 1.5m can it be effectively detected and the result output.
sensitivity
Only when the detected target energy value (range 0-100) is greater than the sensitivity value will it be determined that the target exists, otherwise it will be ignored.
The sensitivity value can be set from 0 to 100. Sensitivity can be set independently for each range gate, which can precisely adjust the detection in different distance
ranges, local accurate detection or filter interference sources in specific areas.
In addition, if the sensitivity of a range gate is set to 100, the effect of not recognizing the target under this range gate can be achieved. For example, if the
sensitivities of range gate 3 and range gate 4 are set to 20, and the sensitivities of other range gates are set to 100, then only the human body within the range
of 2.25-3.75m from the module can be detected.
Duration of no one
When the radar outputs the results from someone to no one, it will report people for a period of time. If there is no one in the radar test range during this time period, the
radar will report no one; if the radar detects people during this time period, it will be refreshed. This time, in seconds. It is equivalent to the unoccupied delay time. After the
person leaves, the output state will be unoccupied only after keeping no one for more than this duration.
5.3 Description of Visual Configuration Tool
In order to facilitate users to quickly and efficiently test and configure the module, a PC-side PC configuration tool is provided. Users can use this tool software to connect to the
serial port of the module, read and configure the parameters of the module, and also receive the detection results reported by the module. data, and real-time

5.5 Installation conditions
Confirm the minimum installation clearance
If the radar needs to be installed with a casing, the casing must have good wave-transmitting characteristics at 24GHz, and must not contain metal materials or materials that have a shielding effect
on electromagnetic waves.
Installation environment requirements
This product needs to be installed in a suitable environment. If it is used in the following environments, the detection effect will be affected:
• There are continuously moving non-human objects in the sensing area, such as animals, continuously swinging curtains, large green plants facing the air outlet, etc.
• There is a large area of strong reflector in the sensing area, and the strong reflector will cause interference to the radar antenna
• When installing on the wall, it is necessary to consider external interference factors such as air conditioners and electric fans on the top of the room
Precautions during installation
• Try to ensure that the radar antenna is facing the area to be detected, and the surrounding area of the antenna is open and unobstructed
• To ensure that the installation position of the sensor is firm and stable, the shaking of the radar itself will affect the detection effect
• Make sure there is no movement or vibration behind the radar. Due to the penetrating nature of radar waves, the antenna signal backlobe may detect moving
objects behind the radar. Metal shields or metal backplanes can be used to shield the radar back lobe and reduce the impact of objects on the back of the
radar
• The theoretical range accuracy of the radar is the result obtained through special algorithm processing on the basis of a physical resolution of 0.75 meters. Due to the difference in target size,
state, RCS, etc., the target distance accuracy will fluctuate; at the same time, the farthest distance will also be slightly different. fluctuation

8 Radome Design Guidelines
8.1 Effect of Radome on the Performance of mmWave Sensors
•Radar waves are reflected on the radome boundary
• Loss of total power radiated or received by the radar
• The reflected wave enters the receiving channel, affecting the isolation between the transmitting and receiving channels
• Reflection may deteriorate the standing wave of the antenna, further affecting the antenna gain
• Radar waves will suffer loss when propagating in the medium. Theoretically, the higher the frequency, the greater the loss
• Electromagnetic waves are refracted to a certain extent when passing through a medium
• Affects the radiation pattern of the antenna and thus the coverage of the sensor
8.2 Design principles of radome
8.3common material
• Before designing, understand the material and electrical characteristics of the radome
• The table on the right is for reference only, please confirm with the supplier for the actual value
• Height H from the antenna to the inner surface of the radome
• When space permits, 1x or 1.5x wavelength is preferred
• For example, 12.4 or 18.6mm is recommended for 24.125GHz
• Error control: ±1.2mm
• Thickness D of the radome
• Recommended half-wavelength, error control ±20%
• If the half-wavelength thickness requirement cannot be met
• It is recommended to use low��s material
• Recommended thickness is 1/8 wavelength or thinner
Table 3 Common material properties of radome
• The influence of inhomogeneous materials or multi-layer composite materials on radar performance, it is recommended to make experimental adjustments during design
