RCWL-0516 Microwave Radar Body Detection

RCWL-0516 is a microwave Doppler radar sensor module that detects moving objects, such as human bodies, by emitting microwave signals and analyzing the Doppler shift in the reflected signal to determine velocity and presence. It offers advantages over traditional infrared (PIR) sensors, including the ability to detect through non-conductive materials like glass and walls, and it does not rely on heat for detection, making it reliable in a wide range of environments. It is widely used in various kinds of human body detection lighting and alarm aplications.
