Abstract

A passive infrared sensor has two detection members established by respective detectors and optical elements, with alternating spatial volumes being monitored by each detection member. No dead space need exist between volumes. The detection members are configured such that a moving object causes the members to output different frequencies, whereas a non-moving stimulus produces the same frequency from both detection members.
