Doppler sensor guts and aluminum housing. Can mount housings directly to bamboo structure or rivet with brackets.

The data has a baseline voltage of about 0.20vdc and peaks of about 3 volts. Maximum output range is presently 0 to 5 volts DC.

The baseline of 0.2vdc represents the "noise floor" of the sensor. This is the voltage output with no observable motion out to about 10 meters away, assuming an object the size of 1 person.

Sensor output data, shows a person about 4 meters from sensor taking one step forward, one back, then waiting about 10 seconds and repeated three times.

The dopplers are designed to output a smoothed wave which indicates a combined "motion" and "size/distance" value. A small object, moving any direction, close to sensor, will read similarly to a larger object moving faster, proportionately further away.

The Doppler system should be able to recognize certain type of synchronized group motions. For example, if 8 people start walking towards the tower pillars (those with Doppler attached) then the signal on all 8 dopplers will start growing in amplitude. As soon as they stop walking, no matter where, signal outputs return to baseline.

As far as power goes, the sensors need 5 volt DC and ground, current needs are about 40ma each. As far as signal output goes, the sensors output either a single-ended voltage output, to be received by A/D host.

8 of these sensors in total are planned, possibly 4 pointing in and 4 pointing out, or likely more optimally, all 8 pointing down.

Sensors are proposed to be placed on a ring around the circumference of the tower, perhaps 12 feet off the ground. One sensor per tower leg, pointing to the ground, roughly parallel to the leg. Sensor beam scatters out to about a 2X diameter circle, for sensor height X.

All sensors are pre-wired with RJ45 to central hub (1" x 4" x 7"), hub can accept +12vdc or +5vdc, and the eight analog signals, plus ground can be piped around with 10, or higher, conductor cable, with additional shield.
