1. Overview
This document focuses on the use of the sensor, the issues that need to be paid

attention to in each phase, to minimize the design cost and increase the stability of the

product, and to improve the efficiency of the project completion.

From hardware circuit reference design, sensor antenna and housing layout

requirements, how to distinguish interference and multi-functional standard UART protocol

output. The sensor is a self-contained system.

This sensor is a self-contained space sensing sensor, which consists of RF antenna,

sensor chip and high speed MCU. It can be equipped with a host computer or a host

computer to flexibly output detection status and data, and meet several groups of GPIOs for

user customization and development.

2. Working Principle

The sensor transmits a 24G band millimeter wave signal, and the target reflects the

electromagnetic wave signal, and demodulates it from the transmitted signal. The signal is

demodulated, then amplified, filtered, ADC and other processing to obtain the echo

demodulation signal data. In the MCU unit, the amplitude, frequency and phase of the echo

signal are decoded, and the target signal is finally decoded. The target parameters (body

movement, etc.) are measured and evaluated in the MCU.

MR24HPC1 Human Static Presence Module Lite based on the mechanism of

continuous frequency modulation wave. It senses the biological presence, respiration, slight

2 / 29
 MR24HPC1

movement, and movement of human body, and continuously records the presence of

human body. It makes real-time judgments and outputs changes in motion speed, distance,

intensity, as well as changes in spatial micro-movement intensity and distance. It achieves

a rich environment detection application through various functional parameters and is

compatible with complex environment detection applications of various styles.

3. Hardware Design Considerations

The rated supply voltage of the radar needs to meet 4.9 - 6V, and the rated current

needs to be 200mA or more input is required. The power supply is designed to have a

ripple of ≤ 100mv.

3.1 Power supply can refer to the following circuit design

4. Antenna and housing layout requirements

PCBA: Need to keep the radar patch height ≥ 1mm higher than other devices

Housing structure: need to keep the radar antenna surface and the housing surface

have 2 - 5mm distance

Housing detection surface: non-metallic housing, need to be straight to avoid bending

surface, affect the performance of the whole sweep surface area Performance

5. Electrostatic protection
Radar products with electrostatic sensitive circuitry inside, vulnerable to electrostatic

hazards, so need to be in transport, storage, work and handling process to do a good job of

electrostatic protection, do not touch the grasp of the radar hands. Therefore, it is

necessary to do a good job in the transportation, storage, work and picking up process of

static protection, do not touch and grab the radar module antenna surface and connector

pins, only touch the corners. Do not touch the surface of the radar module antenna and

connector pins with your hands, only touch the corners.

When handling the radar sensor, please wear anti-static gloves as much as possible.

6. Environmental interference analysis

6.1 In an unmanned state, sensors output results indicating the

presence of a human being even though there is none.

In the normal state, the radar accurately detects the presence of a stationary human

body or sleeping human body and outputs corresponding vital sign information. The

reasons for this type of error could be:

A. The radar scans a large area and detects movements from outside the door or

through a wooden wall nearby.

5 / 29
 MR24HPC1

Adjustment method: Reduce the radar sensitivity or provide scene settings for the

radar.

B. The radar is directly facing running equipment such as air conditioners or fans

below.

Adjustment method: Adjust the position of the radar to avoid direct exposure to air

conditioners or fans.

C. Object shaking caused by airflow from an air conditioner.

Adjustment method: Cotton and non-metallic items will not cause sensor false alarms,

but metal items need to be fixed to avoid shaking.

D. The sensor is not fixed, which causes false alarms due to vibration.

Adjustment method: Avoid shaking or vibration by ensuring stable support.

E. Occasionally moving animals such as pets or birds.

Due to the radar measuring micro-movements with high sensitivity, it is difficult to

eliminate this interference.

F. Power interference occasionally causing misjudgment.

Adjustment method: Try to maintain a stable power supply current.

6.2 When there is a person present, the sensor produces an

incorrect output of no person detected.

The sensor detects the presence of a human body by sending and receiving

electromagnetic waves, with higher accuracy the closer the person is to the radar.

A. The person is outside the range of the radar.

Solution: adjust the scanning range and installation angle of the radar. The

measurement range of the radar varies in different environments due to differences in the

electromagnetic wave reflection area, which may cause slight differences in the scanning

area.

B. Metal obstruction causes incorrect output.

Obstruction by a thick desk, chair, or metal seat may block the electromagnetic waves

6 / 29
 MR24HPC1

and cause a misjudgment.

C. Differences in scanning angles.

The radar did not scan the torso, causing misjudgment.

D. The radar sensitivity is too low.

Solution: adjust the sensitivity parameter of the radar to increase sensitivity.

7. Protocol Description
This protocol is applied to the communication between the 24G millimeter wave Sensor

Human Static Presence Module Lite and the host computer.

This protocol outlines the radar workflow, briefly introduces the interface protocol

composition architecture, and The interface protocol structure is briefly introduced, and the

related radar work requires control commands and data.

8. Standard function (scene mode)

description
This instruction mainly focuses on the detailed explanation and illustration of sensor

standard functions such as scene mode, sensitivity, and unmanned time.

What needs to be explained is that the maximum detection range of the sensor for

detecting human body in static and active states is different. Generally speaking, when the

human body is in a static state, the maximum detection range of the sensor is smaller than

that when the human body is in an active state.

Contents Typical (default) Maximum Installation way

Human Active 5 5m side mount

Human Static 4 4m side mount

Human Sleep 3 3.5 m side mount

The configurations of 8.2 to 8.4 are only effective in the standard mode (scene mode).

8.2 Scene mode

The function of scene mode is to adjust the maximum detection range of the

sensor to recognize human movements. (Maximum detection distance of the sensor)

There are 4 modes for scene mode, with the default mode being the living room mode.

The detection range values for each scene mode are as follows:

Scene Mode Detection Radius (m)

Living room 4m - 4.5m

Bedroom 3.5m - 4m

Bathroom 2.5m - 3m

Area detection 3m - 3.5m

8.3 Sensitivity setting

The sensitivity setting adjusts the detection distance of the sensor for human body

in static state.

There are 3 levels for sensitivity setting, with the default level being sensitivity 3. The

detection range values for each sensitivity level are as follows:

8.4 Additional information on Standard function

Function Point Parameter Data Content Function Description

Near/Far/No State:

During the target's movement, if it approaches the radar continuously for 3

seconds or moves away from the radar continuously for 3 seconds, the

radar will report "approaching" or "moving away".

When the target is in disordered movement or stationary state, the radar

Proximity report Near/Far/No State
will report "none".

Example:

No state: No one present, person standing still, or person in random motion

Near state: approaching the radar continuously for 3 seconds

Far state: moving away from the radar continuously for 3 seconds

Body Movement Parameter:

When there is no person in the space, the body movement parameter is 0.

When there is a person present but stationary, the body movement

parameter is 1.

When there is a person present and in motion, the body movement

Body Movement Body Movement Parameter, range:
parameter is 2-100 (the greater the amplitude/distance of the motion, the
Parameter report 0-100
larger the body movement parameter).

Example:

When there is no one around: the activity parameter is 0

When someone is still: the activity parameter is 1

When someone is active: the activity parameter is 25

8.5 Time for entering no person state

The function of ime for entering no person state setting is to adjust the duration from

14 / 29
 MR24HPC1

"someone present" to "no one present" by selecting different absence trigger time settings.

There are 9 levels for the absence trigger time setting, with the default level being 30

seconds. The actual time interval from "someone present" to "no one present" is always

greater than or equal to the current unmanned time setting.

9. Underlying Open function description

In older versions of millimeter wave sensors, there was no such thing as Underlying

Open function. Underlying Open function is one level above Standard function, which

means that this feature provides users with more data messages that can provide users

with more customizable interfaces. If you do not want to use the results of the Standard

function, you can enable the Underlying Open function and output the results of human

presence and movement based on the data from this feature.

If you are a general user and feel that the results of the standard function already cover

your use case, and the results obtained by the sensor in your environment are accurate

enough, then you do not need to use the Underlying Open function.

c. When there is a person standing still in the space (with micro-

Static distance: The straight-line distance between the micro-motion area in

the environment and the sensor. When there is a person standing still at a

certain position in the space, the straight-line distance between that

position and the radar will be output in real-time.

Example:

Without anyone present:

Energy value is between 0-5, and the static

distance is 0m.

With someone present:

Energy value is between 30-40, and the static

Motion speed:

When there is motion present in the environment, a positive speed value is

provided when the object is moving closer to the sensor and a negative

speed value is provided when it is moving away. The target's motion speed

is also determined in real-time.

Example: Motion energy value:

• 0-5 when no one is present

• 15-25 for small movements at a distance by a person

• 70-100 for large movements up close by a person

Motion distance:

• 3.5m when a person is continuously approaching a certain point

Motion speed:

• +0.5m/s when a person is continuously approaching a certain

point.

10.2 Underlying open parameter settings

Function
Parameter Data Content Function Description
Point
Existence judgment threshold:

For distinguishing between the presence and absence of people based

on the different energy levels in the environment, an appropriate

threshold value can be set to form a simple discrimination criterion for

determining the presence or absence of people.

Existence

judgment
range from 0 to 250. When there is no one around: 0-5
threshold settings
When someone is present: 30-40

The existence judgment threshold is set to: 6-29

This can be used as a simple criterion for distinguishing between the

presence and absence of people.

(Threshold values can be adjusted based on actual judgment

requirements to control the difficulty level of determining the presence or

23 / 29
 MR24HPC1

absence of people.)

Motion trigger threshold:

By setting an appropriate threshold value based on the different motion

energy levels in the environment when there is no one around, when

someone is moving slightly, and when someone is moving significantly, a

simple discrimination criterion for distinguishing between the active and

still states can be formed.

Example:

When there is no one around: 0-5

When someone is still with slight body movements: 7-9

Motion trigger Motion trigger threshold, range from
When someone is moving slightly at a distance: 15-20
threshold settings 0 to 250.
When someone is moving significantly at close range: 60-80

The motion trigger threshold is set to: 10-14

This can serve as a simple criterion for distinguishing between active and

still states.

(Threshold values can be adjusted based on actual judgment

requirements to control the level of difficulty in triggering motion

detection.)

Existence perception boundary:

For the detection of stationary (slightly moving) targets in space, the radar

can output its stationary distance in real-time. Therefore, by setting the

the presence and absence of people.

Example:

In the current environment:

24 / 29
 MR24HPC1

The real-time stationary distance of a stationary (slightly moving) target is

3m (it is the source of slight movement interference).

The existence perception boundary is set to <3m.

The overall detection range of human presence can be reduced to less

than 3m to exclude interference from non-human sources at 3m.

(Set the threshold based on actual judgment to control the range of

existence perception boundaries.)

Motion triggering boundary:

For detecting moving targets in the space, sensor can output real-time

distance of the motion. Therefore, by setting the motion triggering

boundary, the range of motion triggering can be controlled to determine

the boundary between inactive (no person) and active (with person)

states.

Example:

Motion Trigger Range of motion detection In the current environment:

Boundary Setting boundary: 0.5m to 5m. Real-time motion distance of a moving target: 3.5m

(it is a motion interference source, such as a continuously rotating fan

motor)

Motion trigger boundary setting: ＜ 3.5m

The overall range of motion detection can be reduced to less than 3.5m

by setting the motion trigger boundary, which can exclude interference

sources that are not human-made at 3.5m. (Thresholds can be set based

on actual judgment to control the range of motion trigger boundaries.)

10.3 The setting for Time logic

time setting 0~1000ms. To judge the active state, the following conditions must be met to be

considered as an active state.

a. The motion energy value is greater than the motion trigger threshold.

b. Within the motion trigger boundary.

c. Continuously meeting the threshold and boundary conditions within

the set motion trigger time.

With the participation of these three setting parameters, a relatively

complete and detailed standard for judging the transition from stillness to

activity is formed.

Example:

In the current environment:

The target has been moving continuously for 1 second.

Real-time spatial motion value: 30-40.

Real-time motion distance: <2.5m.

Motion trigger threshold setting: 15.

Motion trigger boundary setting: 3m.

Motion trigger time setting: 0.8s.

At this moment, the target's motion energy value is greater than the set

threshold, the motion distance is within the set boundary, and the target

has been moving for more than the set time, so it can be judged as an

active state.

(Adjust the trigger time according to actual judgment to control the

difficulty of motion triggering.)

Motion-to-Still time:

To determine the still state, the following conditions must be met:

Motion-to-Still
Motion-to-Still time, range 1~60s. a. The motion energy value is less than the motion trigger threshold
Time setting
b. The above threshold condition is continuously satisfied within the set

motion-to-still time

26 / 29
 MR24HPC1

These two setting parameters contribute to forming a more complete and

detailed standard for determining the transition from active to still state.

Example:

In the current environment:

Target has been stationary for 2 seconds

Real-time motion value: 10

Motion trigger threshold setting: 15

Motion-to-still time setting: 1s

At this moment, the motion energy value of the target is lower than the

set threshold, and the duration of stillness exceeds the set time.

Therefore, it can be judged as a still state.

(Setting the time according to actual judgment to control the difficulty of

maintaining stillness)

Enter unmanned state time:

To determine the absence of people in the space, the following three

conditions must be met to judge the unmanned state:

a. The motion energy value is less than the motion trigger threshold

b. There is an energy value less than the presence judgment threshold

c. It is outside the presence judgment boundary

and detailed standard for determining the unmanned state.

Example:

Real-time motion energy value: 10

Real-time existence energy value: 2

Target movement distance: 4.5m

Target stationary distance: 4m

Existence judgment threshold setting: 40

Motion trigger threshold setting: 30

Motion trigger boundary: 3m

Existence judgment boundary: 3m

Time to enter unmanned state setting: 50s

At this moment, the motion energy value, existence energy value, and

dynamic and static distance all meet the conditions for judging

unmanned state. After continuing for 50s, the system enters unmanned

state.

(The time setting for entering unmanned state can be adjusted according

to actual needs to control the difficulty of entering unmanned state.)
