A VHF Intrusion Detection Technique for Isolated Resources,

Abstract

A mobile rf intruder detection system for isolated or clustered high value resources has been successfully tested. Because the system operates in the very high frequency (VHF) range, there is little shadowing from aircraft or vehicle structures. Also, since human body size is comparable to the wavelength at these frequencies, the electromagnetic fields interact strongly with intruders. This response makes detection easier and helps to eliminate false alarms caused by small animals, wind-blown debris, and other similar objects. The experimental results show that the technique has a low false-alarm rate and a high detection sensitivity. (Author)
