The entire radar platform is water-resistant and two banks of batteries are included for convenience or extended operation time. The device consists of a MicroPower Radar (MPR), a data acquisition (DAQ) element and a processor. Radar sends a short, low-amplitude signal of radio-frequency (RF) energy toward the target.
