Zusammenfassung: | An intrusion detector detects motion of a human intruder into a selected volumetric space. An oscillator-detector avalanche or impatt diode operating above 4GHz is mounted within an open ended conductive cavity of a coaxial line construction to define the active transmitting and mixing element of an oscillator-mixer establishing an RF field in the selected space and receiving the motion related signals via a common antenna. The diode is exposed to both the transmitted and the echo signal and produces a Doppler frequency output signal which is connected to an alarm. The system antenna and a load coupling impedance transformer are selected to optimize the magnitude of the Doppler motion signal response sensitivity. The microwave frequency oscillator signal is modulated by loosely coupling a general purpose diode to the open end of the oscillator-mixer open ended cavity. |
