Radar Noise Floor Method for Occupancy Detection
Keywords:
Doppler radar, noise level, occupancy detection, Root-Mean-Square (RMS)Abstract
A 2.4 GHz continuous wave Doppler radar sensor is utilized to carry out occupancy detection through detection of human presence over an empty room based on time domain root-mean-square (RMS) values. An existing system-on-chip with custom-made baseband board is employed for developing the radio.
