An anti-interference microwave detection module processes frequency-selection for reducing the interferences from the electromagnetic radiation of the frequency bands different from the frequency band of the anti-interference microwave detection module in the environment to the echo signal of the anti-interference microwave detection module. A Doppler intermediate-frequency signal is trend processed to obtain a fluctuation signal. The characteristic parameter of the fluctuation of the fluctuation signal is corresponding to the characteristics of the movement of the object in the detection space, so that the anti-interference microwave detection module is able to completely reflect the characteristics of the movement of the object in the detection space and reduce the interferences of the electromagnetic radiation in the environment, including the interferences of the electromagnetic radiation of the same frequency band of the anti-interference microwave detection module, to the fluctuation signal.
