Dear colleagues,

Due to the increasing demand for automation in engineering, sensors have become highly sought after. Among the various types, radar sensors have gained popularity for their multiple applications. In fact, they have emerged as a preferred choice for solving engineering problems that involve distance, movement, and object sizing. These sensors work by utilizing microwaves to interact with the target, which can result in different effects such as reflecting, refracting, absorbing, scattering, and altering speed and phase. The accuracy of the measurement is determined by the phenomenon used and the arrangement of the sensor. One of the significant advantages of radar sensors is their ability to penetrate all materials except metals, providing volume measurements instead of just surface readings. Unlike infrared sensors, they are not affected by environmental conditions like water vapour and dust, and they can withstand high temperatures like semiconductor sensors. Additionally, radar sensors are less prone to buildup compared to capacitive sensors. One of the most significant benefits of microwave sensors is that their power levels are generally considered safe, unlike other types of sensors that use radioactive radiation.
