Diagnosing range issues

A project log for Radar Sensor

This project will be using an InnoSent IPM 165C and / or IVS 362 module to sense distance and motion towards / away from the observer.

Apparently the IVS-362 should have a range of 20m, so something is wrong!

These are some oscilloscope screenshots with the signal generator set to 200Hz with a voltage amplitude of 2.7 volts:

Channel IF1:


Channel IF2:

These readings were taken in a cluttered indoor environment with plenty of reflective objects in the 3 to 5 m range. But the module does not seem to be very responsive.
