7.1. Range Performance vs Attenuation
The chart below illustrates the effect of attenuation of the radar signals on the radar
sensor detection range. Factors that can cause attenuation of the radar signals include
fascia material, paint, dirt and mud buildup, foam material, or other mechanical
obstructions in the sensor field of view. For example, if a material is placed in front of the
sensor which attenuates the signal 12 dB (2 way loss) the maximum detection range of
the sensor will decrease by 50%.
