Notice to Users Operation of this device is restricted to law enforcement, fire and rescue officials, public utilities, and industrial entities. Operation by any other part is a violation of 47 U.S.C 301 and could subject the operator to serious legal penalties. Per Title 47, Part 15, Subpart F, paragraph 15.511(2), the operation of imaging systems requires coordination as detailed in paragraph 15.525. Parties operating under the provisions of Title 47, Part 15, Subpart F, paragraph 15.511 must be eligible for licensing under the provisions of part 90. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment Time Domain as manufacturer is in charge of all marketing. Any purchasers (non- government) by commercial clients will be informed of their responsibility under FCC rules by receiving a copy of Section 15.525 which requires them to co-ordinate their activities and inform the FCC at the following address preferable via certified mail. Frequency Coordination Branch, OET Federal Communications Commission 445 12th Street, SW Washington, D.C. 20554 Attn: UWB Coordination Ultra Wideband Perimeter Surveillance Pole / User’s Manual 3 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 Section 2 Pole Overview Section 3 P400 Radar Section 4 Broadspec Antenna Section 5 FCC Compliance The user will note we have not included a Section on installation and system bringup. After reviewing Section 1 the reader will appreciate that the PSP400 is one element of an overall system that will be integrated with existing elements of an installations fixed infrastructure. For this reason each installation is unique; system turn-on and setup instructions will be developed in conjunction the receiving facility. 1 System Introduction & Theory of Operation This document addresses the Ultra Wideband (UWB) surveillance radar pole which is the sensor component of an integrated surveillance system. In order to introduce and provide operational context for the pole the overall system is discussed in this Section. 1.1 System Overview The UWB Surveillance System (USS) creates a virtual fence along or around the perimeter of an area to be protected. It consists of a staggered fence line of distributed short range radars contained in poles. These poles work together to detect, track, and distinguish between people and animals moving along or through the perimeter area. The ability to distinguish between different types of targets also known as Items Of Interest (IOIs) is often referred to as classification. Because the USS does not create a physical barrier it can be deployed in areas where an actual fence would be detrimental to the environment such as along a shore line or across a wildlife migratory path. UWB is the enabling technology that allows the USSUSS to offer the following capabilities:  All weather, day/night operation  High Probability of Detection coupled with a Low Probability of False Alarms  Deployment in cluttered RF environments (near fences, buildings, moderate foliage)  Classification/Identification Numerous agencies eligible for licensing under the provisions of part 90 have identified an unmet need for a security system with the above characteristics. 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. A network connects the radars to each other and the server. The lower level components that make up the poles, server, and network and the USS interfaces will be described in subsequent paragraphs. USS requires supporting infrastructure including power, a wired network, pole footings, and a central server. The cost of this infrastructure suggests USS will be deployed around high value assets or infrastructure typically found at many Government installations.

The server processes data from the poles and controls radar operation through the network.
