I've got LD2410B, which are mmWave, so they should detect heartbeat (and do), but not from more than 2-3m away.

Is the LD2410B sensing range limited by the PCB antenna?

  • I'm not sure, it always just made sense to me that the farther away someone is, the harder it'll be to detect their small movements.

    • Smallness detection depends on RF: higher frequency = shorter wavelength = more resolution for imaging.

      Detection range without obstacles depends on transmit power and signal reception.

      There are other models in the same family which might have more power/range.
