Flavors of mmWave BM101

Note: each of the Batman Kit comes with ONLY ONE mmWave Sensor Module of the dedicated application flavor.

(BM101-VSD) Vital Signs Detection	For a contactless and wearableless human Vital Signs Detection (VSD) with real-time Heartbeat Rate & Respiration Rate data, for range of 30cm ~ 90cm (about 1~3 feet); along with Status Indicator for sensing the presence of a person, as well as the measurement stability, and whether the person is present but without Vital Signs.
(BM101-HAM) High Accuracy Measurement	For a wireless High Accuracy Measurement (HAM) of an object distance with range of 30cm ~ 3 meters (about 1~10 feet), having millimeter measurement resolution.
(BM101-PMB) People Movement Behavior	For a wireless People Movement Behavior (PMB) detection in 4 x 4 meter or 16 meter square area (or about 172 square feet); and with software that could set virtual geo-fence(s) to trigger alert or action when People are moving into the geo-fence(s).
(BM101-SRR) Short Range Radar	For Short Range Radar (SRR) detection of human in 1 meter ~ 20 meters (about 3 ~ 66 feet), or detection of vehicle in 1 meter ~ 50 meters (about 3 ~ 164 feet), along with viewing angle of 120 degrees; along with Doppler Data to distinguish for whether the objects are moving-towards or moving-away from the mmWave sensor.
(BM101-ZOD) Zone Occupancy Detection	For plotting a Range-Azimuth-Heatmap with a 64 x48 Grid Matrix covering: Range of 3meter/64row (approx. 0.047meter per row) x Azimuth of 120degree/48column (approx. 2.5degree/column). Subsequently a programmer may write a program to group the Grid(s) into Zone(s) for detecting whether the particular Zone(s) is occupied by Target(s).
