Sensors

A low-power, mote-scale Pulsed Doppler Radar sensor board. The Samraksh Company's first offering in a suite of Wireless Sensor Network products.

Comes with the BumbleBee Software Package: device drivers, data collection modules and sample applications for download.

For more information about the BumbleBee, see the Learning page.

Key features:

  • Operates at a 5.8GHz center frequency
  • Coherent quadrature output (both I & Q)
  • Maximum detection range of 10m
  • Maximum range controllable via software down to 1m with range gate sharpness of 0.2m
  • On-board (internal) antenna with 60 degree conical coverage pattern
  • Optimized for human-like targets
  • Responds to radial velocities between 2.6cm/s and 2.6m/s
  • Easily interfaced with mote devices
  • Ships with battery pack and with cabling for use with the .NOW mote
  • Connector boards / do-it-yourself instructions available for interfacing with IRIS/MICAz and Imote2 motes

The BumbleBee Radar enables a number of low-power, wireless sensor network applications including simple motion detection, robust intrusion detection using velocity estimation, velocity-based motion tracking and vibration monitoring.

GuardBee

Ultra low power motion detection module. Utilizes the same pulsed Doppler radar technology as the BumbleBee, combined with an FPGA-based computing platform to achieve ultra low power operation. Pre-programmed with Samraksh's proprietary Displacement Detection algorithm, eliminating the need for additional mote hardware. Ships with its own enclosure for out-of-the-box installation. Key features:

  • Based on Pulsed Doppler Radar sensing technology
  • Tunable detection range up to 10m
  • Single-board solution with on-board 20 MHz FPGA
  • 40mW total power consumption, including 0.1mW FPGA consumption
  • Robust motion detection via our proprietary Displacement Detection algorithm that rejects most common sources of false alarms
  • Two-wire interrupt-style GPIO output for integration with external devices
  • SPI bus connection option for integration with external networking or microcontroller modules
  • Ships with enclosure for out of the box installation
  • No programming needed. No need for attached mote

Due to its low power, cost and size profile, the GuardBee is suitable for a number of indoor and outdoor applications. Sample applications include people sensing, occupancy sensing, tripwire and area counting, residential and commercial security and energy profiling in indoor spaces, among others.
