1. INTRODUCTION---.. -~This report describes the development of a radio frequency intruder
detection system intended to protect high value individual resourcns.
The work included some modifications of an already existing system as
well as ~he ~evelopment of a new instrument. The mechanism of tha inter-
action between the single radiat~on wire system and the intrude~ h£s not
as yet been fully I1nderstood. Therefv~e, the emphasis in both of the tasks
was placed on the development of a data 9ath~I'in9 research tuol rather than

demonstrate only the feasibility of an area
intrusion detection system using radiation coaxial cable, but in the continuous
process of data gathering to determine the RF field characteristics of a
single wire intrusion detection ~ystem, the device was also used in conjuction
with other instruments, to make measurements during field operations. In
that application some shor~comin9s were noted. Thereforel.to1fi~th.!instrument more versatile as a research tool some modifications of the
existing circuits as well as some new 4dditions were incorporated into the
port~le transmitter-receiver unit.
~ In parallel 'ith these modifications another Bystem design was
In the single wire system, where the leaky cQaxial cable was driven at one
end while t.he other was terminated by a matched load, the ~plitude of the
envelope of the detected disturbance exihibited co~siderable variation.

than the one originating near the te.rminatic;n. Also, sane shadowing by
the rosources being protected was found to exist. To counteract thelle
problems, a split coaxi~l cable drive with two receiving monopole antenn.11
was considered. The coui.l cable was to be drivfln at. both ends wb,ile a
matched te~ination was to be plac,d at the midpoint between the driven ends.
This was to reduce to some extent the dependance of the disturbance signal
amplitude on the position of the intruder along the cable. To reduce the
shadowing problem two receiving antennas feeding a single receiver through
a signal combiner were considered. Also, considered was a switching arrange-
ment Where the two sides of the coaxial cable would be alternately driven.
This arrangement trgetber with a synchronous detection could provide infor-
mation on the sector in which intrusion was taking place. This project
was carried through the preliminary design stages and then set aside for a
design of an i.nstrument to test some new idea.s on the single wire intruder
detector system.
At the time a new hypothesis2 wap proposed by' Dr. J. L. Poirier of
RACe on the behavior of the RF signals in a radiating cable area intrusion
detection Rystem. The hypothesis was basad on the data qathered during a
series of experiments with a Bingle radiating coaxial cable and a centrally
located single receiving antenna. The findings seemed to indicate that a
receiving systEIII employing a carrier Buppl:ession and a quadrature detection
scheme could eliminate some of the more objectionable features of the
previous approach.
There were considerable variations in the quiescent received signal

the cable could produce considerable changes in the quiescent Aignal
level~ at the antenna. Th6 RF field strength at any given point within
the area was determined by the phase and amplitUde re\ationship betw.en
the ~ontributing signal components originating along the cable. Thua th~r.
were large signal s-trength 'variation wi-thin a 't"elatively 8ll\all area inside
the perimeter where reinfoX'cements and cance~lations took place. An
int=udft~ disturbed only a small fraction of the contributing components.
When the antenna was near the peak ~f the RF fielo the disturbance
introduced only a s~~ll variation with respect to the qui&8cent signal
level. On the other hand, when the antenna was locateu near or in a valley
of the RF field the same disturbance produced very large variation with
respect to the latent signal. Therefore, the old approach which used AGe
~~ked in direc~ opposition to the desired effect. Instead of equalizing

during taa circum!.erentlal walks.) In turn theBe null. produced voltages
at the dbtector below p£eset threshold levels during ~ portion o~ tua

cross the cable without being detected.
To reduce the effect of the larqe oscillations in the detected
disturbance signal caused by an approaching intruder the phase dependent
components had to be elilM-ted from the signal at the detector. For that
purpos9 a quad~ature detection scheme was employed. In addition to the
amplitUde detection a phase detection circuits were also incorporated

In the first part of this report s,ome of the modifications of the
pr<ilviously constructed instrument are described. The circuit diagrams
shown should be viewed in conjunction 'itlith the circuit descriptions
presented in Reference 1. The rest of the report is devoten to the
description of th~ latest instrument. Since the design of the switchable
instrument did not proceed beyond the advanced planning stages no descrip-
Ition of that system is press.ted. r\\

some shortcomings were noted.
During prolonged circumferential walks the alarm threahold levels
al. ,eared to be changing. Considerable changes in the threshold le-,ela
occurred when several of these walks were repeated within a·short ttme

of each other. This behaviol was caused by the normal response of the
AGC circuit. The circuit interpreted the rapid but unsymetrical variationa
in the signal strength caused by a person walking around the pertmeter
as a long ~erm s1gnal strength change and tried to adjuat the receiver gain
accordingly. A repeated walk just compounded the probl.m. To correct
this deficiency a switch selectable manual gain control was added to the
circuit. similar probl ~s may be encountered with other systems during
eVbluation and testing, if a manual ~vorid. of the AGC circuits ia not
provided.
In conjunction with this AGC modification a new digitally controlled
~ircuit was constructed. It was intended as a replacement for the existing
highly nonlinear RF atternator within the AGC loop. To keep the ttmQ
constant of the AGC the same at all operating levels the cha~acteri8tic
required lineraization. The control signal to the RF atteunator was shaped

Therefore, it waa replaced by a quiescent signal cancellation circuit. In

addition, a quadrature detection of the disturbance signal was used to
elUninate the phase related variations in the detected signal. Since the
transmi~ter-receivQrunit was envisioned to be u~ed as a research tool
rather than as an alarm systen, the circuits associated with the set~ings
of the decision thresholds and the alarm were not incorporated in the design.

of the system operated at 57 MHz while the other operations were
performed at an intermidate frequency of 455 kHz and a base band of
o to 10Hz.
A crystal controlled oscillator and an amplifier produced
approximately 250 mw of RF signal to drive the radiating cable or the
antenna, if desireti. A small port,i.on of the oscillator oui:put was also
used to power a mixer where the 455 KHz intermediate frequency reference
signal was generated. For that purpose a crystal controlled local
oscillator of 57.455 MHz was uaed. The output of the same local oscillator

was alao employed to drive another mixer to produce the IF signal from
t..:'~e received and amplified RF•

A 20dB ate~nuator and an isolation amplifier were inserted into
the local oscillator signal path. This ~as done to prevent the reference
signal, which was considerably stronger than the received signal, from
feeding through the local oscillator into the recei'V'ed signal mixer.
A 60dB isolation was Lchieved by that ~ombination.
The output of the mix~r located in t~e receiver section was amplified
and filtered in the IF ~trip. An integrated IF amplifier and a ceramic
narrow band-pass filter formed that circuit. The output of the IF strip
was routed into the summing amplifier.
The reference IF signal was used to drive an integrated circuit phase
locked loop to generate one of the two reference signals for ~ladrature
detection. The PLL output, arbitratily assum~d to be the "in phase" (I)
reference canponent of the two signals was applied to another PLL to
generate the quadrature (Q) reference component. The I component was also
used to generate the waveform for suppression of the ~iescent received
signal. Since the output of the PLL was a square wave it ",as passed through
an isolation amplifier and a ceramic band-pass filter before it entered the
phase shift n~wtork. From there, after proper phase and amplitude adjustment,
it was ~wrmed with the received IF signa~. to cancel the quiescent canponent.
The output of the summation amplifier was mUltiplied by the two reference
quadrature components to generate t~o quadrature components of the disturbance
signal. These in turn were passed through an active 10Hz low pass filter •
~1e resulting low frequency signals were applied to a precision absolute

been eliminated and only the amplitude of the disturbance signal was
preserved.
To observe the phase variations of the disturbance signals with
respect to an arbitrary quiescent phase, another PLL, mUltiplier
and filter combination was employed. The PLL was inserted before the
multiplier to rdmove amplitude variations in the distu~bance signal at
the output of the summing amplifier. The band-pass filter following
the PLL removed harmonics from the amplitude limited sig'.lal hefore it
was multiplied by the sinewave used to cancel the quiescer.t received
signal. The output was obtained directly from the multiplier where the
high frequency components were removed by a simple RC low pass filter.
A monitor circuit was included in the instrument. Each of the
six signals indicated in the diagram could be selected one ~t a time
for display on a panel meter.
The system operated from a 12 to 15 volt external power source.

B. Circuits of AIDS
The de .gn of the intrusion detection system utilized wherever
possible, ~ommercially available hybrid, integrated, and kit type circuits.
When a particular functional bloc): had to be des~"lned, a well known
configuration and/or circuit published in the applicacion notes by the
manufacturer were used. The choice of the 455kHz '.L:.termediate frequency
was influenced by these considerations and by the relative ease with which
some of the signal processing could be accomplished at that frequency.
The transmitter and the receiver circuits are shown in Figure 6.
Except for the isolation amplifier the circuits were bought in a kit form.

unit provided approximately 12db gain at the operating frequency. A MXX-l
mixer once again was used to obtain the intermediate frequency signal.
An LC network filtered the incoming local oscillator signal.
An intergrated brOadband communications subsystem LM374 and a MONATA
CFM-455F ceramic filter were used to amplify and band limit the IF signal.
The LM374 was connected to operate in the video amplifier configuration
with manual gain control at pin 1. The IF strip, including a 6dB insertion
loss of the ceramic filter, was capable to provide approximately 64dB of gain.
From the IF strip the received signal was directed to the nulling

circuits shown in Figure 7. There the signal passed through a low gain
isolation stage before entering the summation junction where it was combined
with the reference oignal. The reference signal obtained from the PLL-l

was passed through a ceramic band pass filter (CEM-455F) to remove the
harmonic content. The phase of the resulting sinusoid was manually
controlled by the two multiturn potentiometers. A total phase shift
approaching 360 0 was possible. The amplitude of this reference signal was
adjusted by the potentiometer at the output of the second stage of the
phase shift circuit.
The residual signal at the output of the summation amplifier was once
more filtered by a band-pass filter. To compensate for the inser'tion loss
of the filter the signal was amplified in the output stage of the nUlling
circuit.
To help in the nulling process the received, the reference and the
residual signals could be selected for display on a panel meter. First the
amplitude of this reference signal was adjusted to approxlmate ~he quiesc~nt

output signal. Some repetitive readjustment of the amplitude and phase
was required until an acceptable null was reached. Tha output of the
cancellation circuit was processed i~ the circuits of Figure 8. There it
was multiplied by two signals derived from the reference IF signal and in
~adratur. to each other. These -=lUadrature canponents were generated by the
casade of EXAR XR-21S monolithic PLL circuits. The voltage controlled
o~cillator (VCO} outputs of the PLL's maintained the IF frequency and the
required phase relationship to each other. In order to maintain a 90° phase
shift at the VCO of the PLL-Q witn respect to the VCO output of the PLL-I
the free-running frequency of the former was set as near as possible to the
intermediate frequency of the system. For that purpose a frequency trim
resistor was introduGed at pin 10 cf the PLL-Q circuit. Pin 10 of PLL-I
was open. Otherwise, the two PLL and multiplier combinations are identical.

EXAR XR-2228 monolithic multiplier/detector was also taken from the application
notes for a standard multiplication circuit. S Care was taken to adjust the
gains and the offset of both mUltipliers in order to produce indentical
output amplitudes for a given range of the input signal.
The outputs of the two mUltipliers were further processed by the circuits
shown in Fig~re 9. Once again the circuits f~ the I and the Q components of
the received signal were ident~cal. The signal first passed through a 3-pole
10HZ low pass filter with a gain of two where the high frequency components of
the product signals were removed. There the signals underwent precision full
wave rectification before entering the vector computation circuits. ~his

module could not accept negative signals. The description of the operation of
the vector computation circuit may be found in Refererce 6.
The phase detector circuit also utilized the PLL - multiplier
configuration. The external component selection was almost identical to the

The tests were primarily intended to establish the validity of the system

follow the ch~nnel deflections of the chart recroder were approximately
set to 20omV/cm for the vector signal and 50omv/cm for the other signal••
It must be emphasized that these were only very approximate settings in
which th~ vernier gain controls Were ignored. Therefore, the diviation
of the signals trom their quiescent v~lues should be viewed in conjunction
with other traces Where the disturbances by a person near the cable are
shown. The deviation coinciding with the passing of the bu. was less
than 10' of the minimum deflection observed in any of the circumferential
wQlks. It should be noted that other traffic was also present during the
time period represented by the traces. Also, wind gusts e.timated in exce••
of 50 km/hr were also present during that particular ~\ie.c.nt signal test.
A~ may be observed the wind and the traffic ~ad no significant effect on

if IF frequency of the system. Its output was applied to the sUJllltd..ng
amplifier with the cancellation signal disconnected. Two quadrature
components were generated in the PLL-multiplier circuits. While the
oscillator signal slOWly drifted within the base of 0 to 10Hz from the
system 7.F signal a vector signal was obtained. The magnitude of the ripple
in that signal was a good indication of the balance in the quadrature
circuit under dynamic conditions. The phase circuit was not connected
during the test shown in the figure.
The right hand sile of the fig~re shows the results of a circumferential
walk taken immediately after the system check. The cable was approached
from the end terminated in a load. The walker then ~oceeded towards the
end connected to the transmitter. Thus the increasing received signal
strength when the lble losses deeredse. The envelopes of the vector as
well as of the two qu~drature components show the int9rference pattern

the vflotor signal would be a. relatively smoo'i:h envelope of the quadrature
components. Therefore, when the fine noise like structure was first
observed it w~s thought to be caused by the signal processing circuits.
Although the quadrature balance teats &hows some imperfections in the vector
signal, the variations in the signal obrained during the circumferential

detActor. It was concluded that the ~'ine stn\cture was caused by the motion
of the body, its arms and legs. To test this ~slumption another walk wal
taken. The results a~e presented in Figure lJ. During the first helf of
the walk the II intruder II pruduces minim.m\ IlIOt:lon by keeping his IorIltl Io.gainst
the body And by taking small robot li~e steps. The fine atrUQture in the
vector signal was redllced considerably. The body motion during each small
step may be observed in portions of the quadrature components. In the second
half of the walk normal motions were res\uned as evidenced by the increase
in th~ amplitude of the higher frequency components.
Figure 14 shows the respon&e of the s~stem to an intruder crossing
the cable and to the motion within the encircled area. First, the radiating
cable was crossed at the high power end near the feed line. Then the
intruder passed within approximately one meter of the receiving antenna and
left the encircled area approximately 1800 from the entrance point. On
the return path the cable was crosDed near the place where the exit hal been
made. Now the antenna was passed on ~h~ other side and the exist was made at
the termination of the coaxial cable. The disturbances at the 1800 crossings
were much more pronQunced then at the both ends of the cable. This, of course,
was a pure coincidence for this crossing. But it points out the fact that
a large variation in the disturbance signal amplitUde can be ~xpected,
making it difficult to chcoae the alarm threshold levels to inl\ure detection
while minimizing the false alarm rate from a ne~rby activity. It should be
noted that the phase detector outputs showed less amplitude variation in
the cable crossings but were more sensitive to the activity near the
receiving antenna.

D. Conclusion-_.""-An intrusion detection system using quiescent signal cancellation
and quadrature detection was designed, constructed and tested. It was
intended to be an instr~ent for observation and dAta gathering rather
~~an for field deployment to protect high value individual resources.
Time ltmita~ions curtailed the intended testing program to several per-
formance evaluation tests in which the emphasis was placed on qualitative
obse.vations to identify areas where further refinement in the system
concept and/or circuits would be necessary.
From these tests it may be concluded that the system performed well
and within its design limits. The indirect gain control by cancellation
of the quiescent signal while leaving the disturbance component unaffected
presented no difficulties. The manual adjustment of the reference signal
phase and amplitude to achieve the desired cancellation proved to be
somewhat Lnccnvend.enti, It could be replaced by an autcmated prJcess. The
quadrature deteotion scheme required some attention and care in balancing
of the quadrature circuit components to achieve the desired results at the
connections. The proximity ot the transmitter to the receiver also

The quadrature detector output showed much more activity than expected.
The body motion produced higher frequency components superimposed upon
