ABSTRACT:
A bistatic VHF Doppler radar is utilized to detect and track one or more intruders crossing a large annular ring surveilance zone surrounding a central high security installation. A central omni-directional transmitter radiates the surveillance zone with a continuous wave (CW) signal. Predetermined ones of a plurality of receiver antennas circumferentially spaced around the surveillance zone receive a portion of the signal which is reflected by an intruder crossing the surveillance zone and a portion of the signal which is directly radiated from the transmitter antenna. The reflected signal portion may be received by antenna arrays each of which is controlled to form a null in its pattern toward the transmitter antenna to overcome direct signal overload. The direct signal portion may be received by stub antennas. Each antenna array and each stub antenna is connected to a separate channel of a dual channel receiver. An intruder moving across the surveillance zone causes signals representative of Doppler cycles of phase change to be generated. The outputs of the two separate channels are compared and their relative phase changes measured. A detected intruder causes an alarm signal at a central processing station and the Doppler information is processed to generate tracking data which is shown on a display device. An automatic null control circuit may also be utilized to accommodate multipath conditions and static clutter due to environmental factors.
