C1001 mmWave Human Detection Sensor(11 Meters)

SKU: SEN0623

The C1001 mmWave Human Detection Sensor is a highly advanced device designed for precise human presence detection and monitoring. Its specifications include a working voltage of 5V and a current of ≤100mA, operating at a frequency range of 61~61.5GHz. With a transmission power of 6dBm, it can detect objects up to 11 meters away, offering a radar detection angle of 100×100 degrees. Additionally, it supports sleep detection distance for chest measurements of 0.4-2.5m and breathing heartbeat detection of 0.4-1.5m. The sensor can measure breathing rates between 10-25 times per minute and heartbeat rates of 60-100 times per minute, functioning effectively in temperatures ranging from -20 to 60℃. The pinout includes VIN for power supply, GND as ground, RX for sensor serial reception, TX for sensor serial transmission, IO2 for human presence level output, and IO1 for fall status level output, making it suitable for diverse applications in human monitoring and detection.

    FAQ

    • Does millimeter wave technology have any impact on the health of users?

      Current research and main conclusions show that millimeter wave signals are not harmful to human health. Millimeter wave signals are higher in frequency and lower in energy, so they are less likely to cause harm to the human body. In addition, the radiation power of 5G millimeter wave technology is very low, far below the limit value of international standards, and will not generate heat radiation.

    • What is millimeter wave?

      As the name suggests, millimeter waves are electromagnetic waves with a wavelength (λ) of about 1 millimeter (more precisely, 1 to 10 millimeters). By using the formula f = c/λ, where c is the speed of light (3E8 m/s), the wavelength can be converted into a frequency range of 30-300 GHz. The millimeter wave frequency band has been designated as the "extremely high frequency" (EHF) band by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU). The term "millimeter wave" is also commonly abbreviated as "mmWave".

    • Can this sensor count people in a room?

      We don't think this sensor can do anything similar. the C1001 can only detect if an object is moving and feed back information accordingly, but it can't detect the frequency of vibration of an object.
