The basic output of  a radar module is the doppler frequency, it is a measure for the speed of the moving object.

​

The output signals from the mixer have amplitudes as low as a few microvolts, careful amplification and filtering is needed before a microcontroller can read the doppler signals.

​

For a 24 GHz module the relation is :

44.7 Hz per km/h 

​

A car driving at 100 km/h will show a doppler frequency of 4470 Hz. 

​

Radars with 2 channels can measure the direction of motion ( I/Q detection )

​

For this mode of operation the transmit frequency is not modulated. It is called 

CW mode ( continous wave )

​

​This is how door openers or security alarms are working, sensing motion by analyzing the doppler frequency. Analysing the doppler spectrum is the key for object classification.
