Test and Evaluate Ultra-Wide Band Video Link for IAEA Cameras
Abstract
The Department of Energy requested an independent evaluation of sensors developed by DIRAC Solutions, Inc. and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL). LLNL and DSI have developed passive radio frequency-based item monitoring sensors that are effective in harsh environments. NPS tested the sensors and selected commercial, off-the-shelf sensors in three specific scenarios, the first of which (Part A) is addressed in this report. Evaluation criteria included communication range, ability to transfer surveillance data flow and detection alerts, size, weight, power, etc. The current test objective was to evaluate ultra-wideband radio frequency video links for IAEA cameras for nuclear safeguards and inventory monitoring applications. The NPS team evaluated link performance, reliability, error rate and throughput. The tests were successfully conducted, and the findings are reported herein.
