Abstract
A motion detector and a method for operating the motion detector including a radio frequency (RF) transmission circuit, an RF reception circuit, and a controller that is electrically coupled to the RF transmission circuit and the RF reception circuit. The controller is configured to control the RF transmission circuit to generate an RF signal and control the RF reception circuit to receive a reflected RF signal from a target object in a predetermined time for reception after transmission of the RF signal. The controller is further configured to control the RF reception circuit to generate a Doppler signal indicative of a distance between the target object and the motion detection system based on the reflected RF signal. The controller is further configured to adjust a sensitivity of the RF reception circuit during the predetermined time for reception and activate an indicator based on the magnitude of the Doppler signal.
