SSP-60318-S1

Advanced

Description:
Model SSP-60318-S1 is a V band ranging sensor module
based on FMCW radar principles. This sensor module isdesigned and manufactured for measurements of amoving or stationary target's speed and distance. Thesensor module has a center frequency of 60.0 GHz andtakes a nominal bias of +8.0 VDC/750 mA. The frequency
modulation bandwidth of ±250 MHz is realized via atuning voltage of 0 to +25 Volts. The sensor module is configured with a Varactor tuned oscillator, anisolator, a directional coupler, a circulator, and a balanced mixer. The directional coupler is used tosample the LO power to pump the mixer, and the circulator is used as a TX/RX diplexer. Variousantennas can be integrated with the module to form sensor heads for many system applications.

Caution:• Exceeding absolute maximum ratings shown will damage the device.
• The device is static sensitive. Always follow ESD rules when working with the device.
• Proper torque, 8.0 ± 0.4 inch-pounds (0.90 ± 0.02 Nm), should be applied. Eravant torquewrench, model SCH-08008-S1, is highly recommended.
• Any foreign objects in the waveguide will cause performance degradation and possibly damage
the device.
• The case temperature of the device shall never exceed +50 ˚C. Use a proper heatsink or fan ifnecessary.
