The principle and introduction
of
PART millimeter wave radar sensor
Millimeter wave (mmWave) is a special type of radar technology that uses short-wavelength electromagnetic waves. The radar system transmits an
electromagnetic wave signal that is blocked and then reflected by an object in its transmission path. By capturing the reflected signal, the radar system can
determine the distance, speed and angle of the object. Millimeter wave radar transmits a signal with a wavelength of millimeters. This wavelength is considered
short in the electromagnetic spectrum, which is one of the advantages of this technology. It is true that the size of system components (such as antennas)
required to process millimeter wave signals is very small. Another advantage of the short wavelength is high accuracy. Millimeter wave systems operating at
frequencies of 76–81GHz (corresponding to a wavelength of about 4mm) will be able to detect movements as small as a few tenths of a millimeter. A complete
millimeter wave radar system includes transmit (TX) and receive (RX) radio frequency (RF) components, as well as analog components such as clocks, and
digital components such as analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), microcontrollers (MCUs), and digital signal processors (DSPs). In the past, these systems have
been implemented with discrete components, which increased power consumption and overall system cost. Its complexity and high frequency requirements make
system design challenging.
 LED indicator light: There are two LED indicators, red and
green, on the front of the radar.

u The red light is the power light, which stays on after the power is turned on. The red
light flashes or is off: the radar power supply is unstable and the 12V adapter needs to
be replaced.
u The green light is the status light. The green light turns on after the target is detected
in the area and turns off after the target disappears. The green light is always on:
the target is detected or the background environment changes. You need to connect
the APP via Bluetooth or the computer via 485 to check the data to determine the
cause.

The green light will flash in the following situations:

Important Notes:
1. Single radar solution cannot be used for mixed entry and exit of advertising boom barrier;
2. The installation height of the radar cannot be lower than 65cm;
3. There cannot be fixed targets within 0.3m outside the left and right detection ranges;
4. Ensure one arm for one vehicle;
5. The total width of the left and right detection ranges is recommended to be no less than 0.5m, otherwise it is easy to cause accidents due to the failure
of the following vehicle gate to lift the arm in time;
6. For non-mixed entry and exit advertising boom barrier, the radar should be installed close to the front of the vehicle; that is, the front of the vehicle
passes the radar first and then the arm.
7. For the two opposite boom barrier, one radar is responsible for one boom barrier. The vertical detection distance is set to the arm length minus
0.4~0.5m or more.
8. The billboard light box arm should be set to the fence arm mode, and the anti-collision switch should be turned off on the advanced parameters page. If
the debugging is not good, please contact the manufacturer for guidance.
9. The folding arm and telescopic arm should be debugged according to the "Radar debugging method in non-standard straight arm scene". If it cannot be
adjusted properly, please contact the manufacturer for processing.
10. When the straight arm falls to the bottom, add a test of people entering and exiting; if the green light turns on and off synchronously with the person
entering and exiting, it is normal. If the green light does not turn off after the person exits, it is abnormal. You can debug it according to the "Radar
debugging method in non-standard straight arm scene". If you cannot adjust it properly, please contact the manufacturer.
11. For large-angle (more than 30 degrees) turning scenes such as large truck logistics parks, the left and right detection range is adjusted to more than
1m.

4. Test：

① Test the anti-smashing function of the radar and whether the function of the barrier falling when vehicle passing is normal.

② When the pole is in the down state, a person triggers the radar, and the green light on before leaving, to see if the green

light of the radar turns on and off normally.

RADAR USAGE TIPS

1. Keep no obstacles within the anti-collision area.

If new obstacles are added, the radar needs to be re-calibrated, otherwise it may cause the barrier not work

2. Keep the radar surface clean

Keep no dust on the radar surface.

3. Special environments (such as heavy rain, snow, puddles, ground protrusions, metal speed bumps)
Special environments can cause the barrier not close or jump up.

a. For puddles or ground protrusions, it is recommended to make on-site modifications to the road surface.
b. For metal speed bumps, it is recommended to remove.
c. In snowy weather, it is recommended to clear the snow on the road.
d. For heavy rain and snowy weather, if the barrier does not close or open, it will recover to work after the rainwater evaporated. If it is happened on the
site, it is recommended to lift the barrier gate or guide the vehicles to slow down when the barrier gate is lifted.

ITS-TXX

PART Trigger Radar Sensor

ITS TXX series radar sensor is working as trigger device, it should be installed ahead of the LPR camera.
Whenever the radar sensor detects the vehicle coming it will send the trigger signal to the camera to
activate the plate recognition and take the picture. The LPR camera has the input for the active signal in
case of the recognition failure. So it will guarantee the plate recognized and recorded by the camera.

The ITS-TXX radar operates in the 77-81GHz frequency band, with an operating bandwidth of up to 4GHz, a distance resolution of 4cm, and a
ranging accuracy of up to 5cm. The transceiver antenna adopts a multi-transmit and multi-receive mode with extremely high angle resolution; the
signal processing and control unit adopts a DSP + ARM dual-core architecture, and runs advanced algorithms such as radar data processing, target
detection and target recognition on the high-speed digital signal processor inside the on-chip processor. It can accurately identify and distinguish
targets such as people and cars in the parking lot entrance and exit area, and guide the camera system to perform license plate recognition or control
the barrier lift.
Radar Parameters
 ITS-TXX Functions

Radar has 2 LED indicators. The Power LED Indicator keeps red after radar power
on. The Status LED Indicator turns green while targets detected and goes out while
targets disappear in detection range.

Radar defaults two-way detection. After best install position confirmed,

it only needs to set the horizontal and vertical detection distance.
(As picture shown on the right: )

Radar can automatically save the detection range data set.

After power off and restart, radar will recover to the newest data.
