摘要: A communication network including a point-to-point, wireless, millimeter wave trunk line communications link at high data rates in excess of 1 Gbps. This link is combined with a local network which includes at least one multi-beam antenna to provide high speed digital data communication for multiple users. In preferred embodiments the network also includes Ethernet service to additional users. In these preferred embodiments many or most of these multiple users are temporary users such as participants at a conference. In a preferred embodiment, a trunk line communication link operates within the 92 to 95 GHz portion of the millimeter spectrum. A first transceiver transmits at a first bandwidth and receives at a second bandwidth both within the above spectral range. A second transceiver transmits at the second bandwidth and receives at the first bandwidth. The transceivers are equipped with antennas providing beam divergence small enough to ensure efficient spatial and directional partitioning of the data channels so that an almost unlimited number of transceivers will be able to simultaneously use the same spectrum.

摘要: An imaging system includes a scanning reflector that sweeps through a periodic scan pattern to redirect millimeter wave energy from a target object to a detector. The imaging system may include one or more millimeter wave lenses that gather and focus the millimeter wave energy from the target object onto the reflector or the detector. The detector is super-cooled to increases sensitivity, so that the imaging system does not require an illumination source. For each location on the target object, the detector monitors the intensity of the millimeter wave energy and an electronic controller builds a memory map from the detector data. Because different materials block millimeter wave energy differently, the detector data, and thus the memory map corresponds to the structure of the target object. In one embodiment, the scanning reflector is a resonant scanner. The scanner may be a microelectromechanical (MEMs) or mesomechanical scanner.

摘要: The invention relates to detection performed over millimeter and submillimeter wavelengths, especially to imaging solutions functioning over a submillimeter-wavelength range. The system of the invention uses detectors, comprising antenna coupled bolometers together with wavelength selective optics. The detector matrix is preferably curved for reducing the number of imaging errors. In order to provide a curved detector matrix, the detector matrix is constituted by flat submatrices, each being provided with one or more integrated antenna coupled bolometers. The detectable frequency range is preferably limited in two stages, first by means of wavelength selective optics and secondly by means of the operating band of the antenna of an antenna coupled bolometer. In order to focus the incoming radiation on bolometers, the bolometer substrate is fitted or the surface or interior of the bolometer substrate is provided with a bolometer lens or a corresponding optical element in alignment with each bolometer.

摘要: Disclosed is a method and apparatus for enhancing target detection, particularly in the millimeter wave frequency range, through the utilization of an imaging radiometer. The radiometer, which is a passive thermal receiver, detects the reflected and emitted thermal radiation of targets within a predetermined antenna/receiver beamwidth. By scanning the radiometer over a target area, a thermal image is created. At millimeter wave frequencies, the received emissions from the target area are highly dependent on the emissivity of the target of interest. Foliage will appear "hot" due to its high emissivity and metals will appear cold due to their low emissivities. A noise power illuminator is periodically actuated to illuminate the target of interest. When the illuminator is actuated, the role of emissivity is reversed, namely poorly emissive targets will generally be good reflectors which in the presence of an illuminator will appear "hot". The highly emissive targets (such as foliage and dirt) which absorb most of the transmitted energy will appear almost the same as in a non-illuminated, passive image. Using a data processor, the intensity of the passive image is subtracted from the intensity of the illuminated, active image which thereby cancels the background foliage, dirt, etc. and the reflective metallic targets are enhanced.
摘要翻译: 公开了一种用于通过利用成像辐射计来增强目标检测的方法和装置,特别是在毫米波频率范围内。 作为无源热接收器的辐射计,在预定的天线/接收机波束宽度内检测目标的反射和发射的热辐射。 通过在目标区域上扫描辐射计,创建热图像。 在毫米波频率下,目标区域的接收到的排放量高度依赖于目标物体的辐射率。 由于其高发射率,叶子将出现“热”,由于其低发射率,金属将显得冷。 定期启动噪声功率照明器以照亮感兴趣的目标。 当照明器被启动时,发射率的作用被颠倒,即发射不良的目标通常是良好的反射器,其在照明器的存在下将出现“热”。 吸收大部分传输能量的高度发射目标(如叶子和污垢)将显示为与非照明的被动图像几乎相同。 使用数据处理器,从照明的活动图像的强度中减去被动图像的强度,从而抵消背景叶子,污物等,并且增强反射金属目标。

摘要: This disclosure relates to a system for detecting metal in a background of terrain or water. It employs a radiometric receiver with input port means directed toward the area to be examined and responsive to thermal emission in two planes of polarization. The system includes means for displaying or comparing the relative emission temperatures in the two planes as an indication of the presence or absence of metal. Fundamentally, the system supresses false alarms due to water.

摘要: The disclosed MMW wave sensing camera calibration arrangement that generally includes a millimeter wave camera that uses an energy emission calibration panel as a calibration standard. The MMW camera is positioned opposite the calibration panel in the MMW camera's field-of-view. The calibration panel is held at a constant temperature to provide a standard emission of millimeter waves that is sensed by an MMW sensor to set or otherwise calibrate the MMW camera to a baseline emissivity value corresponding to the panel. The MMW camera is linked to a microprocessor and non-transient computer memory containing a calibration routine that is configured to reset the baseline only when nothing obstructs the calibration panel's field-of-view. A visual display is linked to the MMW camera and configured to display an MMW signature of a metal object that is disposed on a person's body when the person's body is in the field-of-view, the metal object concealed by clothing worn over the person's body.
