Brigade Backsense
®
radar beam angle has a 120° horizontal angle out to the maximum
designated width. The vertical angle is 12°. Both angles are symmetrically perpendicular
to the sensor front surface.
All dimensions for detection of objects are nominal and vary significantly depending on
many parameters. For more details, see section “1.2.2 Factors Influencing the Detection
of Objects”.
An object will cause a detection alert in less than 0.5 second.
After turning on the power the system takes around 6 seconds to be active. Time from
standby to active state is less than 0.2 second.
Notes:
For distances below 1.3m (detection with relative speed only) or below 0.3m (no
detection) the space covered in general by radar systems is very small so this system
might not be a suitable solution. Brigade therefore recommends adding a Brigade
Backscan
®
System based on ultrasonic sensing technology, which offers better
detection at close ranges as applicable.
Brigade Backsense
®
system is not affected if multiple systems are operating in the same
area or on the same vehicle, even if they are installed in close proximity with overlapping
detection ranges.
Tip: Brigade Backsense
®
detection is generally better when there is relative speed between
the sensor and the objects.
