Page 3: System Overview
Ultra Wideband Perimeter Surveillance Pole / User’s Manual Overview This document is a User’s Manual for the Time Domain Ultra Wideband (UWB) Perimeter Surveillance Pole (PSP400). The document is divided into the following sections. Section 1 System Introduction & Theory of Operation... - Page 4 Ultra Wideband Perimeter Surveillance Pole / User’s Manual Figure 1 is a conceptual depiction of the USS. As suggested in the figure the USS can track and independently classify multiple people and animals using its system of radars. A server processes data from the radars and provides outputs to external users of the data.
- Page 5 Ultra Wideband Perimeter Surveillance Pole / User’s Manual The number of poles deployed at a given site depends on the length of the perimeter that requires monitoring. The poles are organized into groups of six poles referrred to as networking cells. As shown in Figure 3 the physical footprint of a networking cell is a rectangle that is 100 meters long by 20 meters wide (note the radar coverage area extends up to 20 meters beyond the cells footprint in all directions).

Page 6: System Theory Of Operation
Ultra Wideband Perimeter Surveillance Pole / User’s Manual The end user provided server should feature multicore processors and an operator terminal consisting of a keyboard and monitor. Such a server is needed to support the system’s processing and interface operations. The operator terminal is for the purpose of configuring, controlling, and maintaining the system. - Page 7 Ultra Wideband Perimeter Surveillance Pole / User’s Manual Array Server Processing Interface Radio TCP/IP Packet • Tracks Video • Classifications TCP/IP Packet Radio • Scans TCP/IP Packet • Configuration • Status Web Message • Video Relay • Alarm Relay TCP/IP Packet •...
- Page 8 Ultra Wideband Perimeter Surveillance Pole / User’s Manual Each network cell is implemented as a fixed TDMA scheme that supports a 4 Hz update rate. This fixed TDMA cycle and timing information is available to each P400 and ensures only a single P400 (within each cell) is radiating at any given time.

- Page 14 Ultra Wideband Perimeter Surveillance Pole / User’s Manual 3. P400 Radar The radar is Time Domain’s P400 Ultra Wideband (UWB) module (Figure 13) configured to provide monostatic and bistatic radar operation. Monostatic radar operation is a single device receiving scans from its own transmitted pulses. In a bistatic mode one radar receives scans (pulses) transmitted from another radar.

- Page 16 Ultra Wideband Perimeter Surveillance Pole / User’s Manual To power the board, the user must supply a maximum of 5 Watts at any voltage between 5.75-30V. Indicating lights provide operating status information. The user can interface to the P400 through either USB (standard USB Micro B connector), Serial connection, or Ethernet.
- Page 17 Ultra Wideband Perimeter Surveillance Pole / User’s Manual 4. Broadspec Antenna The P400 is designed to operate with the Broadspec antenna shown in Figure 16. Use with ANY other antenna invalidates the FCC certification. Per FCC 15.203, the Broadspec antenna must be professionally installed and the installer has the responsibility to insure that the Broadspec antenna is used.
