1.2 Overview
The R-GAGE sensor emits a well-defined beam of high-frequency radio waves from an internal antenna. Some of this
emitted energy reflects back to the receiving antenna. Signal processing electronics in the sensor determine the distance
from the sensor to the object based on the time delay of the return signal. The sensor can be configured (using a PC) to
sense objects up to a specific distance, ignoring objects beyond this distance (also called background suppression).
