Title: Systems and methods for intrusion detection using GHz beams

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1470744

The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods that use 1 GHz to 1000 GHz sources and sensors to create an intrusion detection array that does not have the physical limitations of an Active IR sensor. The array is created by a plurality of wave sources and sensor pairs that form a plane of wave break beams. The plane detects an intruder as he/she passes through the beams.
