The SmartSensor Matrix detects vehicles through the use of a 24.125 GHz (K band) operating radio frequency. Using what is classified as frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW ) radar, SmartSensor Matrix detects and reports vehicle presence in as many as 10 lanes simultaneously. Figure I.1 – Wavetronix SmartSensor Matrix SmartSensor Matrix is a first-of-its-kind radar stop bar detector with Radar Vision™. It delivers the reliability of radar and the simplicity of non-intrusive detection for stop bar presence detection. In many situations, the sensor is installed on the roadside in order to prevent the need for lane closures and traffic control. Once the unit is installed, the configu- Introduction 6 INTRODUCTION • SMARTSENSOR MATRIX USER GUIDE ration process is quick and easy. After installation, the sensor will require little or no on-site maintenance and can be remotely configured. This user guide outlines the step-by-step process of installing and configuring the Smart- Sensor Matrix. Any questions about the information in this guide should be directed to Wavetronix or your distributor.

Technical Description The system is shown below: Figure 1 As shown in figure 1, the DDS generates an a linear frequency modulated chirp from 0 to 7.8 MHz. This signal is mixed up and filtered to leave a chirp from 750 MHz to 757.8 MHz. The signal then goes through the 16 times multiplier, filter and amplifier to create a linear frequency modulated chirp that ramps the signal from 12 GHz to 12.125 GHz. The doubler and filter then move the signal to the 24 to 24. 25 Linear Frequency Modulated (LFM) chirp, or Freuqency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) signal. The signal is then amplified and goes through the switch network to be transmitted out of only one antenna at a time. The up chirp takes 255 micro seconds and the down chirp takes 5 microseconds. The Pulse Repetition Frequency (PRF) is then 3846 Hz, or roughly 4 KHz. The transmitted frequency is controlled using a DDS, VCO, 16X multiplier and Doubler as shown in the block diagram and discussed above. To suppress spurious signals, stripline RF filters are built into the printed circuit board. Additionally, 2 pieces of RF absorbing foam are used. The first is placed between the RF board and the DSP board and the second piece of absorbing material is attached to the back of the RF board (the side with the antennas). The system does not send information, but transmits an LFM chirp and listens for the echoes from objects in its antenna pattern. The frequency modulation is used so that when the delayed return chirp is mixed with the transmit signal, the resulting frequency corresponds to a range.
