For Electronic Circuit designers, Makers and Hobbyists movement detection & Measurement of an object or person is simple task by using PIR sensor or Ultrasonic sensor but it is somehow difficult to measure the movement speed. The HB100 Miniature Microwave motion sensor makes it easy to measure movement and speed.
HB Series of microwave motion sensor module are X-Band Mono-static DRO Doppler transceiver front-end module. These modules are designed for movement detection, like intruder alarms, occupancy modules and other innovative ideas. The module consists of Dielectric Resonator Oscillator (DRO), microwave mixer and patch antenna

Example of use
Robots like to use sonar or ir detection with good reliability. These items can be inaccurate or inefficient. Robotics can have the advantage of having a sensor that can be hidden and sill work reliably.
