1.2 Overview of Features

MR62 60GHz millimeter wave radar can measure obstacles as far as 90 meters.
The radar supports the following functions:

1. It can simultaneously detect moving objects with a relative velocity of ± 200 km/h.
   •  The distance, velocity and angle information of the object can be obtained.
   • Moving objects such as vehicles and pedestrians can be distinguished.
   •  Obstacles with different motion states can be identified, such as Tathagata moving in the direction and moving in the direction.

2. The short distance can reach 30m @ ± 30°, and the long distance can reach 90m @ 0°.

3.  Up to 32 tracking targets can be output through TTL interface.

4. If radar is to be integrated with other equipment (such as cameras), customers need to develop it themselves.

1.3 Application Scenario

MR62 60GHz millimeter wave radar is suitable for traffic flow monitoring, intersection detection, perimeter safety protection and other applications. Other atypical applications are as follows:

•  Monitoring target distance and alarm: If the distance of the target ahead is found to be too close, a distance monitoring alarm will be issued.
•  Industrial and on-board applications: detect and track collisions with people, vehicles, animals and equipment in industry, construction, agriculture and mining.
•  Traffic monitoring: traffic management and the application of safety aspects such as distinguishing lane objects.
•  Early warning at fork in the road: Early warning of vehicles coming at fork in the road.
  Even when the line of sight is covered, the high sensitivity and high resolution of the radar can ensure the detection of the front object.

1.4 Brief Introduction of Principle
The MR62 uses FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) modulation. Its basic principle is that the transmitted wave is a high-frequency continuous wave, and its frequency changes with time according to the law of triangular wave. The echo frequency received by FMCW has the same change rule as the transmitted frequency, which is a triangular wave rule, but there is only a time difference, and the target distance can be calculated by using this tiny time difference.

Taking triangular wave FM continuous wave as an example, the ranging principle of radar is briefly introduced. As shown in Fig. 1, blue is the frequency of the transmitted signal, yellow is the frequency of the received signal, the frequency sweep period is T, and the frequency sweep bandwidth is B. When the transmitted signal is transmitted by the target, the echo signal will be delayed. In the frequency change of triangular wave, distance measurement can be carried out on both the rising edge and the falling edge.

1.5 Radar Field of View
MR62 60GHz millimeter wave radar is a medium range radar. It can detect target distance, velocity and angle information by receiving radar reflected waves.

Installation Specification

3.1 Radar Installation
In traffic flow detection and related applications, MR62 is recommended to be installed at a height of 1.5 ~ 6M from the ground. The radar antenna faces straight ahead and can be tilted down by 0 ~ 5 according to the requirements of customer application for detection distance and blind area. The installation specifications are shown in Fig. 2 and 3:

3.2 Radar Direction Description
The beam width of MR62 antenna is 56° (-6dB) on azimuth plane and 17° (-6dB) on pitch plane. The direction description in Cartesian coordinate system is shown in Fig. 4:

3.3 Installation Considerations

Radar sensor installation principle:

• Try to stay away from other signal sources during installation;

• Stay away from the position where high-power equipment is frequently started during installation.
  In addition, when installing MR62 60GHz millimeter wave radar, the following matters should also be paid attention to:

• When installing the sensor, make sure that the radome surface is clean and unobstructed.

• Welding activities cannot be carried out near the radar sensor position.

• Radar sensors can only wipe surface dust with wet and lint-free cotton cloth, and cannot scratch or damage the sensor surface.

• The equipment needs to be inspected routinely before it is put into use.

requirements; Radomes material will have a greater impact on radar performance; In essence, radomes affect radar performance in three aspects; First, radar waves cannot completely transmit through radomes, resulting in a reduction in radar effective radiation power, including reflection loss and dielectric loss; The second is that the radar antenna beam distortion changes the radar action area, which may cause the radar to be interfered by backward targets; The third is that the radome makes the radar standing wave worse. For detailed design of radome, please refer to the Design Guide for 60GHz Radome of Nanoradar Science and Technology.
In order to prevent the radar beam from distorting, the radome should be kept flat and uniform in thickness as much as possible. Any slight bending will have a great impact on the radar beam.

1. Spraying
   Theoretically, radomes can be sprayed, but careful analysis and detection should be carried out to avoid significant degradation of radar sensor performance.

2. Heat dissipation and electromagnetic shielding
   If the customer designs the radome and other structures himself, he also needs to consider the influence of radar heat dissipation and electromagnetic shielding. Please refer to the design drawings provided by Nanoradar Science and Technology.

Electrical Characteristics

4.1 Harness Connection
MR62 connecting wire harness is a 0.8 m long cable, including four power supply positive electrode, power supply negative electrode, data transmission and data reception.
MR62 radar needs to be powered by battery or other equipment. In order to protect radar from electromagnetic interference, the grounding wire must be as short as possible.
MR62 does not support reverse connection of power supply polarity. Any consequences arising from reverse connection shall be borne by the customer. The design of MR62 conforms to the test requirements of ISO 16750-2.
Table 1 Pin Interface Definition Table

4.2 Test Usage
The “NSM Tools Management System” test software provided by Nanoradar can acquire and analyze MR62 sensor data and visually display observation results. Using this tool is helpful to use MR62 sensors.
First of all, obtain NSM Tools management system (upper computer test software) and user manual of NSM Technology from NSM customer service. According to the user manual, install and configure the upper computer test software. The tools or software used for testing are as follows:

Table 2 Tools used for Product Testing

Connect the PC to the MR62 radar sensor through the USB-TTL module.
Connection diagram 5 is as follows:

1.  USB-TTL connects to the PC and opens the upper computer software. First, the configuration parameters are shown in Fig. 6. At the top left is MR62 test configuration parameters. Then click the Start button on the upper left side.
   

2.  Start testing. If the antenna surface of MR62 radar is facing the moving target, or there is slight relative movement between the sensor and the target, the triangle indicated by the target can appear in the UI interface and the target distance R can be displayed. As shown in Fig. 7, if there is no triangle indication, it means that no target is present within the detectable distance and field of view.
   

Health and Protection

5.1 Electrostatic Protection Measures
It is necessary to do a good job of electrostatic protection in the process of radar transportation, storage, use, fetching and placing. Users must pay attention when dealing with independent modules that are not integrated; When the module is taken out of the sealed anti-static package, it is necessary to start to do a good job of electrostatic protection; Never touch or grab the radar antenna surface and connector pins, only touch their edges.
Recommendation: Wear anti-static gloves when working with all radar sensors.

• Incorrect usage:
•  Wrap the antenna with metal foil or some metal parts;
• Direct measurement of pins with multimeter, causing damage;
• Any kind of paint or varnish spraying antenna structure;
• Wrap the antenna with CFK sheet (conductive);
•  The plastic material is in direct contact with the corroded antenna structure (it has a high dielectric constant influence on the resonance frequency of the patch).

5.2 Identification of Static Damage
In general, the following two situations indicate that the radar sensor has suffered electrostatic damage:

• When there is no target object in the radar detection range, the radar continuously outputs irregular targets;
• When the parameters such as power supply voltage and power supply current are in the normal range, the output signal cannot be obtained.

5.3 Power Protection
The radar input voltage range is 5 V DC, and the ripple is less than 20mV.
The power supply with large ripple will cause the radar to continuously output wrong target information, which will affect the normal use of the radar.
5.4 Space Electromagnetic Interference Protection
The products have adopted shielding measures to avoid the adverse effects caused by electromagnetic interference as much as possible. However, when installing, the radar should be far away from strong electromagnetic interference sources such as motors and isolated metal shells.

Interface

6.1 UART Interface
The MR62 millimeter wave radar UART interface supports TTL.
TTL is the abbreviation of Transistor-Transistor Logic, which is mainly composed of BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor), transistor and resistor, and has the characteristic of high speed.
TTL level signals are used most because the data representation is usually binary, +5V is equivalent to logic “1” and 0V is equivalent to logic “0”. This is called TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic Level) signal system, which is a standard technology for communication between various parts of equipment controlled by computer processors. TTL level signals are ideal for data transmission within devices controlled by computer processors. First of all, the data transmission inside the equipment controlled by the computer processor has low requirements for power supply and low heat loss; In addition, TTL level signals are directly connected with integrated circuits without expensive line drivers and receiver circuits; Furthermore, the data transmission within the equipment controlled by the computer processor is carried out at high speed, and the operation of TTL interface can just meet this requirement. In most cases, TTL communication adopts parallel data transmission, which is not suitable for distances exceeding 10 feet. This is due to both reliability and cost. Because there are problems of phase deviation and asymmetry in parallel interface, these problems have an impact on reliability.
TTL output high > 2.4 V, output low < 0.4 V. At room temperature, the output high level is generally 3.5 V and the output low level is 0.2 V. Minimum input high level and maximum input low level: input high level > = 2.0 V, input low level < = 0.8 V, noise margin is 0.4 V.
