Radar: (SI-3 from Decatur)

• Antenna Parameters:
• Antenna type: K-Band
• RF Frequency: 24,150GHz + 50 MHz
• Nominal Beam width: 12º
• Nominal Power Out: 10mW
• Supply Voltage: 10.8VDC - 24VDC
• Nominal Current Draw: 180mA

Environmental Conditions:

• Operating temperature: -30C to +70C
  (-22ºF to +158ºF)
• Maximum Humidity: 100%
  (Unit is waterproof)

Speed Range Parameters:

• Minimum Speed: 8 km/hr (5 mph)
