Summary of IPS-354 RADAR SENSOR – INNOSENT’S MID-RANGE MOTION DETECTOR
The InnoSenT IPS-354 is a 24 GHz K-band radar transceiver designed for industrial motion sensing, particularly for escalators. It features dual antennas and an IF pre-amplifier to maximize gain while limiting bandwidth for reduced noise. Operating in stereo mode, it detects velocity, direction, and presence up to 30 meters. An FMCW variant is available for distance measurement. The device supports global use due to frequency stability and complies with FCC and RED regulations.
Parts used in the IPS-354 Radar Sensor:
- K-band transceiver
- Two antennas (split transmit and receive path)
- IF pre-amplifier
- FMCW module version
- Stereo dual-channel operation system
InnoSenT’s IPS-354 operates in the 24 GHz ISM band and was developed for classic industrial radar applications, especially as a motion sensor for escalators. It is a K-band transceiver with two antennas; the split of the transmitting and receiving path enables maximum gain. For signal intensification, it also comes with an IF pre-amplifier. Its bandwidth is limited to lower the noise floor. Because of its stability in frequency, one version is usable for worldwide use. This product is also available with a wider beam by the manufacturer directly.

The IPS-354 detects the velocity and direction of moving objects in a mid-range coverage area and offers detection range up to 30 meters. The sensor uses a stereo (dual-channel) operation for the identification of motion direction.
To get information about the distance and presence of objects, an FMCW version of the IPS-354 is also available. The IVS-362 detects moving and stationary objects and recognizes distance.
