Free Space and Directional Sensitivity

The Baumer off-highway radar sensor is a very sensitive device to deliver superior crop pen-

etration and crop detection performance. The opening angle of the main beam is 6° (for 3dB

signal reduction, or approx. 9° for 20dB signal reduction). A typical directional sensitivity is

shown below.

X-Axis / H-Plane: per-

pendicular to centerline /

connector

Y-Axis / E-Plane:

along centerline / con-

nector

Typical Directional Sensitivity of Sensor

Baumer recommends to limit intrusion of, in particular non-stationary, objects, into a rotational

cone of approx. 60...70° from the lens. Integration testing must be done to ensure that the

integration with available free space does not have impact on the measurement. It is known

that dangling wires, cables, hoses, water droplets may be picked up.

Recommended Free Space

NOTE

Non stationary objects in the near range may be picked up by the sensor

even outside the main directional sensitivity cone. The recommended free

space should be kept free from moving objects.
