Radar signal processing
The FM5820 radar sensor chip is mounted on the FM5821-2020. After completing the power-on operation, the MCU initializes the chip through the I2C interface, configuring parameters such as the transmission frequency and receiving gain. This allows the chip to collect and extract the intermediate frequency signal of the human body’s motion through the antenna, and then the MCU acquires the intermediate frequency signal through the ADC, and outputs the GPIO signal according to the amplitude and frequency of the intermediate frequency signal.
Detected distance
The detection distance of the radar sensor module depends on the sensitivity of receiving mobile signals. This can be controlled by the MCU on the module. The maximum linear detection distance is 10m. The actual detection distance of the hoisting depends on the height of the hoisting and the angle of detection. In the case of extremely high sensitivity, self-excitation may occur, so the sensitivity needs to be configured according to the actual use requirements. The following figure is a schematic diagram of the detection range of the radar in the case of a straight line. The dark area is the high-sensitivity area. In this area It is easy to detect human movement in the interior, the lighter the color, the lower the receiving sensitivityFigure 2 FM5821-2020 Radar Sensor detection pattern

Block Diagram
The input 5V voltage is converted to a 3.3V voltage by the LDO, which powers
both the MCU and the 5821. The 25M crystal oscillator provides a clock signal
for the 5821 digital circuitry to function properly. The MCU configures the
5821’s registers through the I2C protocol, and the 5821 receives sensing
signals through its TX RX radio frequency channels, transmitted via the
antenna. The output IF signal is then collected by the MCU’s ADC module and,
after being judged by the MCU, a GPIO signal is output to the LED.
Installation Notes
- Do not place any metal objects in front of the antenna. Thin plastic and glass are acceptable, but keep a gap of at least 2mm between the antenna and the cover.
- When there are multiple radar sensors in the same space, position the antennas parallel to each other, with a minimum gap of 1m between the sensors.
- Power frequency can interfere with radar signal, so keep the LED driver away from the antenna and do not place it directly in front of it.
- The sensor has a power consumption of approximately 35mA. Ensure that the LED driver has a current-driving capability of at least 50mA.

The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands
are country dependent and are firmware programmed at the factory to match the
intended destination. The firmware setting is not accessible by the end user.
The final end product must be labelled in a visible area with the following:
“Contains Transmitter Module “FCC ID:2BAY5FM5831-1919”
Requirement per KDB996369 D03
2.2 List of applicable FCC rules
List the FCC rules that are applicable to the modular transmitter. These are
the rules that specifically establish the bands of operation, the power,
spurious emissions, and operating fundamental frequencies. DO NOT list
compliance to unintentional-radiator rules (Part 15 Subpart B) since that is
not a condition of a module grant that is extended to a host manufacturer. See
alsoSection 2.10 below concerning the need to notify host manufacturers that
further testing is required.3
Explanation: This module meets the requirements of FCC part 15C
(15.247).it Specifically identified AC Power Line Conducted Emission, Radiated
Spurious emissions, Band edge and RF Conducted Spurious Emissions, Conducted
Peak Output Power, Bandwidth, Power Spectral Density, Antenna Requirement.
2.3 Summarize the specific operational use conditio ns
Describe use conditions that are applicable to the modular transmitter,
including for example any limits on antennas, etc. For example, if point-
topoint antennas are used that require reduction in power or compensation for
cable loss, then this information must be in the instructions. If the use
condition limitations extend to professional users, then instructions must
state that this information also extends to the host manufacturer’s
instruction manual. In addition, certain information may also be needed, such
as peak gain per frequency band and minimum gain, specifically for master
devices in 5 GHz DFS bands.
Explanation: The product antenna uses an irreplaceable antenna with a
gain of 4.87dBi
2.4 Single Modular
If a modular transmitter is approved as a “Single Modular ,” then the module
manufacturer isresponsible for approving the host environment that the Single
Modular is used with. The manufacturer of a Single Modular must describe, both
in the filing and in the installation instructions, the alternative means that
the Single Modular manufacturer uses to verify that the host meets the
necessary requirements to satisfy the module limiting conditions. A Single
Modular manufacturer has the flexibility to define its alternative method to
address the conditions that limit the initial approval, such as: shielding,
minimum signaling amplitude, buffered modulation/data inputs, or power supply
regulation. The alternative method could include that the limited module
manufacturer reviews detailed test data or host designs prior to giving the
host manufacturer approval.
This Single Modular procedure is also applicable for RF exposure evaluation
when it is necessary to demonstrate compliance in a specific host. The module
manufacturer must state how control of the product into which the modular
transmitter will be installed will be maintained such that full compliance of
the product is always ensured. For additional hosts other than the specific
host originally granted with a limited module, a Class II permissive change is
required on the module grant to register the additional host as a specific
host also approved with the module.
Explanation: The module is a single module.
2.5 Trace antenna designs
For a modular transmitter with trace antenna designs, see the guidance in
Question 11 of KDB Publication 996369 D02 FAQ Modules for Micro-Strip
Antennas and traces. The integration information shall include for the TCB
review the integration instructions for the following aspects: layout of trace
design, parts list (BOM), antenna, connectors, and isolation requirements.
a) Information that includes permitted variances (e.g., trace boundary limits,
thickness, length, width, shape(s), dielectric constant, and impedance as
applicable for each type of antenna); b) Each design shall be considered a
different type (e.g., antenna length in multiple(s) of frequency, the
wavelength, and antenna shape (traces in phase) can affect antenna gain and
must be considered); c) The parameters shall be provided in a manner
permitting host manufacturers to design the printed circuit (PC) board layout;
d) Appropriate parts by manufacturer and specifications; e) Test procedures
for design verification; and f) Production test procedures for ensuring
compliance The module grantee shall provide a notice that any deviation(s)
from the defined parameters of the antenna trace, as described by the
instructions, require that the host product manufacturer must notify the
module grantee that they wish to change the antenna trace design. In this
case, a Class II permissive change application is required to be filed by the
grantee, or the host manufacturer can take responsibility through the change
in FCC ID (new application) procedure followed by a Class II permissive change
application
2.6 RF exposure considerations
It is essential for module grantees to clearly and explicitly state the RF
exposure conditions that permit a host product manufacturer to use the module.
Two types of instructions are required for RF exposure information: (1) to the
host product manufacturer, to define the application conditions (mobile,
portable xx cm from a person’s body); and (2) additional text needed for the
host product manufacturer to provide to end users in their end-product
manuals. If RF exposure statements and use conditions are not provided, then
the host product manufacturer is required to take responsibility of the module
through a change in FCC ID (new application).
Explanation: The module complies with FCC radiofrequency radiation
exposure limits for uncontrolled environments. The device is installed and
operated with a distance of more than 20 cm between the radiator and your
body.” This module follows FCC statement design, FCC ID:2BAY5FM5831-1919
2.7 Antennas
A list of antennas included in the application for certification must be
provided in the instructions. For modular transmitters approved as limited
modules, all applicable professional installer instructions must be included
as part of the information to the host product manufacturer. The antenna list
shall also identify the antenna types (monopole, PIFA, dipole, etc. (note that
for example an “omni-directional antenna” is not considered to be a specific
“antenna type”).
For situations where the host product manufacturer is responsible for an
external connector, for example with an RF pin and antenna trace design, the
integration instructions shall inform the installer that unique antenna
connector must be used on the Part 15 authorized transmitters used in the host
product.
The module manufacturers shall provide a list of acceptable unique connectors.
Explanation: The product antenna uses an irreplaceable antenna with a gain of
4.87dBi
2.8 Label and compliance information
Grantees are responsible for the continued compliance of their modules to the
FCC rules. This includes advising host product manufacturers that they need to
provide a physical or e-label stating “Contains FCC ID” with their finished
product. See Guidelines for Labeling and User Information for RF Devices KDB
Publication 784748.
Explanation: The host system using this module, should have label in a
visible area indicated the following texts:
“Contains FCC ID: 2BAY5FM5831-1919
2.9 Information on test modes and additional testing requirements5
Additional guidance for testing host products is given in KDB Publication
996369 D04 Module Integration Guide. Test modes should take into consideration
different operational conditions for a stand-alone modular transmitter in a
host, as well as for multiple simultaneously transmitting modules or other
transmitters in a host product. The grantee should provide information on how
to configure test modes for host product evaluation for different operational
conditions for a stand-alone modular transmitter in a host, versus with
multiple, simultaneously transmitting modules or other transmitters in a host.
Grantees can increase the utility of their modular transmitters by providing
special means, modes, or instructions that simulates or characterizes a
connection by enabling a transmitter. This can greatly simplify a host
manufacturer’s determination that a module as installed in a host complies
with FCC requirements. Explanation: Fine Made Micro Co., Ltd. can increase the
utility of our modular transmitters by providing instructions that simulates
or characterizes a connection by enabling a transmitter.
2.10 Additional testing, Part 15 Subpart B disclaimer
The grantee should include a statement that the modular transmitter is only
FCC authorized for the specific rule parts (i.e., FCC transmitter rules)
listed on the grant, and that the host product manufacturer is responsible for
compliance to any other FCC rules that apply to the host not covered by the
modular transmitter grant of certification. If the grantee markets their
product as being Part 15 Subpart B compliant (when it also contains
unintentional-radiator digital circuity), then the grantee shall provide a
notice stating that the final host product still requires Part 15 Subpart B
compliance testing with the modular transmitter installed.
Explanation: The module without unintentional-radiator digital circuity,
so the module does not require an evaluation by FCC Part 15 Subpart B. The
host shoule be evaluated by the FCC Subpart B.
