SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System -1DHP-291 – Product Documentation ® ® The LPR -1DHP-291 ® The LPR -1DHP-291 is a radar distance measurement sensor, which performs 1D distance measurements for short, medium and long ranges with highest accuracy. The radar sensor can be operated in three different radar modes: primary radar mode, secondary radar mode and diversity radar mode.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System -1DHP-291 – Product Documentation ® Radar Basics Radar Distance Measurement Principle ® The LPR -1DHP-291 radar distance sensors use electromagnetic waves to measure the distance and speed between two radars (secondary radar mode) or a single radar and a reflector (primary radar mode).
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System -1DHP-291 – Product Documentation ® Fresnel Zone The area for radio transmission between two antennas is called Fresnel zone. The main part of energy is concentrated in the first Fresnel zone. The Fresnel zone must be free of any obstacles to ensure that the signal is not attenuated or interrupted.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System -1DHP-291 – Product Documentation ® Figure 3.3: Primary radar mode measurement setup 3.4.2 Secondary Radar Mode In secondary radar mode, two radars measure the distance and speed between each other. ® Figure 3.4 shows the typical setup of two LPR -1DHP-291 radars for a secondary radar range measurement.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System -1DHP-291 – Product Documentation ® Figure 3.4: Secondary radar mode measurement setup 3.4.3 Diversity Radar Mode In diversity radar mode, four radar units are grouped into two pairs, which are mounted in a way that two secondary radar measurements are performed side by side separated by a defined distance.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System -1DHP-291 – Product Documentation ® Bandwidth Modes ® The LPR -1DHP-291 operates in the 57 - 64 GHz band. Depending on your used region and regulatory authority setting, a limited number of bandwidth modes are available for selection in the WebUI.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System -1DHP-291 – Product Documentation ® Range ® To maximize the range of an LPR -1DHP-291 measurement setup the following aspects must be taken into account: Mounting position Adhere to the mounting instructions (see chapter 5). Ensure minimum alignment error...
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System -1DHP-291 – Product Documentation ® Components Device Overview ® The LPR -1DHP-291 consists of the following parts (see Figure 4.1 and Figure 4.2): Dielectric lens (A1) focuses the radar beam Metal gland (A2)

SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System -1DHP-291 – Product Documentation ® Mounting General Mounting Instructions Site-specific mounting instructions must be followed if available. The more accurately the radar units and reflectors are aligned to each other, the better the performance of the measurement setup will be in terms of accuracy and range.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System -1DHP-291 – Product Documentation ® Radar and radar reflector must be aligned to each other with maximum accuracy (at least +/- 2,5°). Minimum horizontal and vertical offset between radar and reflector must be ensured.
SYMEO Local Positioning Radar System -1DHP-291 – Product Documentation ® Connect the power supply and Ethernet cable with the M12 connectors as specified in chapter 4.3.1 and 4.3.2 to both stations. The Ethernet connection at the Slave unit is only required for configuration and can be removed during operation.
Connect the radar units to a PC via Ethernet and open the Webinterface (WebUI) in a Webbrowser (http://192.168.1.99). Sign in to the WebUI. Enter the user name “Symeo” and the password “xxxxx” and press “Login”. Now your status is displayed as “Logged in”.
