Hello,

Is the IWR1642 sensor can detect small insects like flies and mosquitoes? If not, can you suggest any sensor?

Thanks,

Vin

Hi Vin,

Insects have a very small RCS so it would be very difficult although I'd recommend ordering an IWR1642BOOST and evaluating for yourself. We have done experiments using mmWave Sensors to successfully detect both the face and side of a quarter dev.ti.com/.../
