INTRODUCTION
This document is a short documentation of the general purpose universal medium range radar TRUGRD LR radar sensor with type 49 antenna.
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
4.1 SENSOR DESCRIPTION
The main task of the UMRR is the detection of any reflectors in the field of
view, to measure the distance, the relative speed and the angle to the
shortest reflector (and to other reflectors), to detect motion and to track
(filter) the results over time.
For this general purpose measurement application, range and relative radial
speed and the angle value of each reflector inside the antenna beam are
measured and the results are reported via the communication links cycle by
cycle.
4.2 TRANSMIT SIGNAL
The UMRR transmit frequency is in the 24 GHz ISM band (24000 MHz to 24250
MHz).
Antenna type 49 consists of one TX antenna with 8 uniform RX antennas. The TX
antenna have a 3dB antenna beam width of +-9° in azimuth and +-5,5° in
elevation. The 8 RX antennas have a 3dB antenna beam width of +-12° in
azimuth and +-4.3° in elevation. Highest TX antenna sidelobe: +- 32°, highest
RX sidelobe at +-43° in azimuth.
Note: max. Gain for TX antenna have max. gain of 19.4 dBi at boresight. The RX
Antenna has a maximum gain at boresight of 15.3 dBi.
4.3 GENERAL PERFORMANCE DATA
After power up or reset, the sensor readings are within specified performance
within <10 seconds.
In Table 4-1 the general performance data of TRUGRD LR are given.

CABLES AND CONNECTORS
6.1 SENSOR CONNECTOR
The sensor connector is a 12-pin male (plug) circular bayonet type connector
(water proof IP67, series LF10WBRB-12PD, manufacturer Hirose, Japan). A female
counterpart (socket), e.g. LF10WBP-12S, is used to connect to the sensor. The
pin numbering of the socket is shown in Figure 6 the pin description is given
in Table 6-1.

Please note that in the standard configuration the sensor has 120 Ohms resistor on board (CAN bus termination between CAN_L and CAN_H).
For the RS485 data interface there is a 120 Ohms resistor on board of the
sensor.
A number of cable sets for initial operation and test purposes are offered by
Smartmicro, to deliver a fast set-up of a sensor system. Among those
preconfigured ready-to-run cables as well as cable stumps (pig tail cables or
various lengths) which carry the connector on one side and open wires on the
other.
6.2 CAN DATA INTERFACE
This specification gives a detailed description of the CAN data communication
used in the UMRR based systems on the sensor CAN. The UMRR is compliant with
CAN 2.0B standard.
The CAN bit timing parts as defined by the CAN protocol Figure 8 can be
described as follows:
Sync: This part of bit time is used to synchronize the various nodes on the
bus. An edge is expected to lie within this segment. For the UMRR sensor, this
segment is always 1 TIME QUANTUM (TQ).
- Prop: This part of the bit time is used to compensate for the physical delay times within the network. It is twice the sum of the signal’s propagation time on the bus line, the input comparator delay, and the output driver delay. For the UMRR sensor, this segment is programmable from 1 to 8 TIME QUANTA (TQ).
- Phase 1: This phase is used to compensate for positive edge phase error. For the UMRR sensor, this segment is programmable from 1 to 8 TIME QUANTA (TQ) and can be lengthened by resynchronization.
- Phase 2: This phase is used to compensate for negative edge phase error. For the UMRR sensor, this segment is programmable from 2 to 8 TIME QUANTA (TQ) and can be shortened by resynchronization.
6.4 RS485 DATA INTERFACE
The RS485 interface from the UMRR sensor has a predefined speed of 115200
baud/s. Typical other data rates are between 921.6kBit/s and 56.7kBit/s.
6.5 ETHERNET CONNECTION
The sensor supports UDP via Ethernet in a Local Area Network (LAN).
Communication over low bandwidth environments or routed networks such as the
world wide web are not supported.
Features:
- Ethernet standards IPv4, ARP, IGMP, IP multicast and UDP
- smartmicro’s proprietary communication protocol “smartmicro transport protocol” with:
o IP/UDP Multicast based discovery protocol
o Client ID based setup
o Sensor data transmission
DESIGNATED USE
The UMRR general purpose medium range radar is suitable for any application
where the distance to and relative radial speed of large objects is measured.
Typical applications are:
Robotics: measure shortest distance to obstacle.
Security: detect motions and measure distance to moving object.
Traffic management: detect moving objects, count those, measure speed and
measure distance to moving object.
Cranes: measure distance to ground.
Aircraft: measure distance to ground
