The inclination angle of planar targets must be smaller than the opening angle of the
sensor. If the target is inclined too much, the reflected radar signal will no longer be de-
tected by the sensor.

Align the sensor centrally on targets with a bent surface (e.g. cylindrical targets). As the
main component of the radar signal is scattered in different directions after hitting the
target, the strength of the detected signal is smaller than with planar targets.
