Abstract: A lighting device includes a microwave sensor for adjusting its sensing range based on a range gate selected from multiple range gates. An active antenna module transmits first FMCW signal toward a target based on the selected range gate and for receiving second FMCW signal reflected from the target. The microwave sensor demodulates the first FMCW signal and the second FMCW signal to generate beat frequency signal. Then another demodulator demodulates the beat frequency signal to generate Doppler signal. The microwave sensor calculates a range between the microwave sensor and the target based on the beat frequency signal, calculates velocity of the target according to frequency of the Doppler signal, and determine whether to generate triggering signal according to the calculated velocity and the calculated range, when the object located within the range gate. The power module enables a lamp based on the triggering signal.

Abstract: A microwave sensor adjusts its sensing range based on a range gate selected from multiple range gates. An active antenna module transmits a first FMCW signal toward a target based on the selected range gate and for receiving second FMCW signal reflected from the target. A modulating module is used for generating modulation signal. The bandwidth of the first FMCW signal depends on an amplitude of the modulation signal. A first demodulator is used for demodulating the first FMCW signal and the second FMCW signal to generate beat frequency. A second demodulator is used to demodulate the beat frequency signal to generate a Doppler signal. An indentifying circuit is used for generating a triggering signal based on a voltage difference between integral of the Doppler signal from an object within the rage gate and an integral of clutter.

The microwave sensor includes an active antenna module, a first low pass filter, a second demodulator, a modulation module, and a discrimination control module. The active antenna module is utilized for transmitting a first FMCW signal towards a target and receiving a second FMCW signal reflected back from the target according to a sweep period. The active antenna module includes a loop antenna and a radio frequency transistor. The first low pass filter and the radio frequency transistor form a first demodulator. The first demodulator and the second demodulator perform two-stage down converting and demodulating to extract information for calculating range and velocity, respectively. The present invention adjusts a radio frequency bandwidth of the FMCW signal by first adjusting an amplitude of a modulation signal generated by the modulation module to control various detection ranges.
