Hi Mark:
Is there any documentation on the HB100?
first hit on google for "HB100 microwave sensor" (recognizing that what
comes up as *my* first hit will probably be different than *your* first
hit)...
https://www.openimpulse.com/blog/products-page/product-category/hb100-microwave-sensor-module/
links to some data sheets.
There's people building arduino shields for these things. They're also
available with more electronics on the back that does the "motion
detector" kind of function with a single bit output.
I haven't found a $10 unit that has both I/Q yet
The old MA/Com gunnplexers didn't have I/Q either, but they did have a
varactor for modulating.
Of course, you can also modulate a gunn by just changing the bias
voltage. Wretchedly non-linear, but that's what a DAC and lookup table
is for.
Just for fooling around, I'd love something like the HB100, with the
ability to modulate it over a few hundred MHz (leaving out DROs as an
option) and with I/Q detection (doesn't have to be perfect quadrature,
"about 90 +/- 20 degrees" is good enough: the errors are easy to
calibrate out)
Probably can't do it for $10, though. More like $100 (in small quantities)
