Infrared Radars and Microwave Radars for Automatic Sliding Doors
The core differences between infrared radars and microwave radars used in automatic sliding doors lie in their induction principles, applicable scenarios, anti-interference capabilities, etc. The specific comparisons and characteristics are as follows. I. Differences in Induction Principles ▪ Infrared Radar operates based on infrared reflection detection and is divided into active and passive types. Active infrared sensing is commonly used for automatic doors. The sensor emits infrared rays of a specific wavelength. When a human body or object enters the sensing range, it reflects the infrared signal. The receiver detects changes in the reflected signal (such as signal intensity and reflection angle), determines the presence of a moving object, and then triggers the door to open. Essentially, it detects "the reflection of infrared rays by objects" and has weak ability to sense stationary objects. ▪ Microwave Radar works based on the Doppler effect and us...
