Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the HLK-LD2402 millimeter wave sensor and what does it do?
A: The HLK-LD2402 is a 24GHz FMCW millimeter wave radar module engineered for intelligent human presence detection. It uses frequency modulated continuous wave technology to sense human targets — both stationary and moving — within a defined space, making it ideal for smart home automation, AIoT systems, and occupancy-triggered controls.
Q: What interfaces does the HLK-LD2402 support for connectivity?
A: The HLK-LD2402 is equipped with both GPIO and UART interfaces, enabling easy integration with a wide range of microcontrollers, development boards (such as Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi), and embedded systems. This dual-interface design ensures flexible deployment across various AIoT and automation projects.
Q: How compact is the HLK-LD2402 sensor module?
A: The HLK-LD2402 features an ultra-compact footprint of just 20 × 20mm with a durable metal housing. This makes it an excellent choice for space-constrained enclosures, custom PCB designs, and any application where a small, reliable radar sensor is needed.
Q: What detection technology does the HLK-LD2402 use?
A: It uses FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) radar operating at 24GHz. This technology allows the module to accurately detect the presence and state of human occupants within a set detection zone — even when the target is relatively still — providing more reliable occupancy sensing than passive infrared (PIR) alternatives.
