A new generation of microwave intrusion detection systems that utilizes spread spectrum techniques has been developed. Advances in Jamming Margin, interference rejection and code acquisition are reported. Spread spectrum techniques have been restricted to military communications and radar applications until recent rulings by the FCC. This paper describes the performance obtained in a practical production system that is available ''off-the-shelf''.
