= Radar Applications: Examples =
this section will show you some real measurements and set-ups where IGEP RADAR LAMBDA or IGEP RADAR EPSILON can be successfuly used<br>
<br>
== Security ==
Security is one of the field applications of radar technology. IGEP RADAR LAMBDA has or IGEP RADAR EPSILON have been used for these purposes, we want to show you here some of the results.<br> [[Image:SECURITY.jpg]]

<br>
Measurements of a person approaching by walking slowly the radar were made during 7 seconds, capturing 1.000 measurement files.

== Traffic ==

IGEP RADAR LAMBDA has and IGEP RADAR EPSILON have been used on this kind of applications, we would like to show you some of the measurements performed.
The next picture is a graph obtained making use of "Speed/Range" feature of the web radar application demo. It was obtained placing the radar on on a tripod close to a road on one side, with the radar oriented on a 15 to 30 meters field of view, as shown on below pictures:
It can be clearly seen how radar tracks the target from 13 to 31 meters (linear green points) and how the target is slightly increasing the speed from 54 to 56Kmph.<br>
In the next picture several targets were detected in different time intervals:

Real measurements of 4 vehicles tracked in range (orange points) and speed (blue points)
The modulation used to make this measurement was:
-T 5000 -x 3000 -X 75000 -l 80
<br>
-T 5000 sets the modulation sweep time to 5ms
-x 3000 ===> this is a limitation on the processing range, in order to avoid false measurements due to close objects, closer than 3m.<br>
You have to put this modulation parameters on the command block of the "Parameters" window and press enter.
<br>
<br>
Note that <u>'''an important thing to consider in this kind of measurements is the correct orientation of the radar'''</u>. This is something you also must empirically optimise for your specific application.

Measurements obtained orienting the radar to get a wider range, up to 60m<br>
<br>
<br>
== Vibrations ==
This is a very interesting application on the construction area.<br>
IMPORTANT: An special software has been developed to this specific application and cannot be done with IGEP RADAR LAMBDA radar application demo. If you want to use this feature you must contact with [mailto:radar@iseebcn.com radar support] and we will study your case and make you an offer for an special software.<br>

== Tank Level Gauge ==
[[Image:TANK.jpg]]
IGEP RADAR LAMBDA and IGEP RADAR EPSILON can be used on this kind of application when pressure and temperature conditions are not extreme and no chemical corrosive material is surrounding the equipment. You only have to install the radar at the top of the tank with the antenna facing the material surface contained on the tank and start measuring range.
In case of extreme environmental conditions it would be needed to develop special antenna that can support high pressures and temperatures. ISEE engineering team is able to develop such kind of devices, please contact with [mailto:radar@iseebcn.com radar support] if you want we study your personal case.

== Automotive ==
Radar technology is beign more and more used on automotive safety systems. IGEP RADAR LAMBDA or IGEP RADAR EPSILON can be an interesting first step in order to evaluate the feseability of such systems and the reference design for developing more specialised products.<br>

== Speed Information Display ==
IGEP RADAR LAMBDA or IGEP RADAR EPSILON can be used in combination of a LED Display to develop Speed Information Displays:<br>

== UAV Altimeter ==
IGEP RADAR LAMBDA and IGEP RADAR EPSILON can be used as short range altimeter for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles.<br>
The estimated range of detection is from 1 to 100meters so, helping on take off and landing of the UAV thanks to the centimeters precission of K-Band radar technology in comparison with the meters precision of traditional 4GHz altimeters used traditionally on avionics.

== Marine Radar ==
== Smart Cities: Intelligent Lighting Systems ==
Radar technology can help to develop intelligent systems for cost and energy savings on Smart Cities systems applications. One example is the Intelligent Lighting System consisting on activation of a row of street lights only when the radar detects a person approaching the area, thus saving lot of illuminating hours with nobody in the street. IGEP RADAR LAMBDA or IGEP RADAR EPSILON could be integrated on this kind of energy efficient systems.<br>
