I'm still hoping that someone talented does a similar project with the HB100 radar sensor (costs $5) :)

I haven't used it, but from reading the datasheet it appears to be nothing but an RF motion sensor. The output is simply a voltage level reflecting the magnitude of the Dopper shift the sensor measured. There is no ability to perform range measurement or range gating, so all it will tell you is if something is moving within its (very wide) field of view.
