1. Product Introduction

- Overview

Rd-04

  • Rd-04 is a motion sensing module developed by Ai-Thinker Co., Ltd.based on X-band radar technology.
  • This module uses the XBR818 chip from Fuxing, with a center frequency of 10.525GHz. It features fixed-frequency, directional transmission and reception antennas (1T1R), integrating functions such as intermediate frequency demodulation, signal amplification, and digital processing. It supports delay setting and adjustable sensing range.
  • Key advantages include non-wall-penetrating capability, anti-interference, compact size, effective clutter and high-order harmonic suppression, high stability, and consistency. In pulse power mode, power consumption is in the microampere range, making it ideal for low-cost, low-power applications.
  • Suitable for embedded and concealed installations, it is unaffected by temperature/humidity, oil fumes, or water mist. Applications include smart lighting (bulbs, downlights, ceiling lights), low-power devices (video doorbells, smart locks, pet feeders), and more.

- Features

  • 10.525GHz single radar (X-band) with delay setting, adjustable sensing range, and light intensity detection.
  • Accurately detects (subtle movements) and motion states of human targets.
  • Supports continuous power mode and adjustable duty-cycle low-power mode (down to 110μA in pulse mode).
  • Optional photosensitive element integration.
  • Wide detection angle (±50°) with a maximum sensing distance of 6.5 meters.
  • Ultra-compact module size (15*15mm), plug-and-play design.
  • Versatile mounting options (wall/ceiling), optimized for low-cost, low-power applications.

- Application Scenarios

  • Smart Home: Detects human motion and results to control home appliances.
  • Smart Security: Used in access control systems, smart locks, video doorbells, and low-power cameras.
  • Smart Lighting/Switches: Enables human presence detection for public or home lighting (e.g., gesture-controlled switches).
