Perimeter Security Solutions - Relocatable Microwave Sensor
316 RDS Rapid Deployment Sensor

316 RDS is a fully portable microwave T/R Link which provides high probability of detection and low false alarm rate in the outdoor environment. State-of-the-art circuitry, a precise detection pattern and unmatched ease of setup with tampered external controls make 316 RDS ideal for short-term protection of VIP's, critical mobile assets such as trucks or aircraft, construction sites, freight yards and other temporary high security applications. 316 RDS can be used at gates, portals or roadway crossings or to establish a full perimeter of volumetric detection.

With a range of 244 m (800 ft), 316 RDS operates at K-band frequency (24.162 GHz), achieving superior performance to X-band sensors. Because K-band frequency is 2.5 times higher than X-band, the multipath signal generated by an intruder is more focused, and detection of stealthy intruders is correspondingly better. K-band frequency also limits susceptibility to interference from airport landing systems, aircraft or marine radar, and other microwave intrusion systems.

Antenna beamwidth is 3.5 degrees in both the horizontal and vertical planes with very low side lobes, allowing 316 RDS to operate at long ranges and within narrow corridors. Proprietary narrow band receiver design increases detection probability by alarming on partial or complete beam interruption, increase or decrease in signal level or jamming by other transmitters. Its Automatic Gain Control (AGC) circuit permits the receiver to compensate for varying site conditions or changes in the weather.

Six field-selectable crystal controlled modulation channels with narrow band filtering allow several 316 RDS sensors to be used together without mutual interference.

316 RDS is supplied with rugged, universal mounting bracketry and a weatherproof mating connector for power and alarm connection. Tripod, power source and alarm transmitter / receiver not included. As a low current device, 316 RDS may be powered via batteries or solar power.
