Abstract
AbstractA system capable of deployment as a microwave security sensor which can automatically reject background clutter is presented. The principle of operation is based on analog homodyne detection using I, Q single side‐band down conversion of an AM backscattered modulating signal envelope. A demonstrator is presented which operates with a carrier frequency of 2 GHz and 500 KHz backscattered signal. When deployed in a multipath rich open plan office environment the S/N ratio obtained at the detection output was better than 20 dB at 20 m range with 20 dBm EIRP in a 2 MHz detection bandwidth despite the presence of time varying and static clutter. © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
