ACUG_Ver1_12/2011 1 D D R R A A F F T T User Guide – AllClear The material contained herein is the proprietary information of Microsemi, Inc. It is intended solely for the information and use of parties operating and maintaining the equipment. Such proprietary information may not be used, reproduced or disclosed to any other parties for any other purpose without the expressed written permission of Microsemi. Overview The Microsemi® AllClear® is a hand-held passive millimeter wave (PMMW) people screening device designed to detect metallic and non-metallic objects and is an alternative to a personal pat-down. Unlike many current security measures in use today which are perceived as invasive and an infringement on civil liberties, the AllClear takes no images, is completely safe and alleviates the need for direct physical contact. The AllClear measures the body’s natural millimeter wave (MMW) energy. When an object is placed or hidden between the skin and clothing, the AllClear detects the difference in the amount of energy collected allowing the device to detect concealed objects. This normally is an indication of either an absorptive or reflective object between the human body and the AllClear. There are those who compare the AllClear and all millimeter wave technology to a metal detector. The defining difference is that a metal detector is not capable Use or disclosure of information contained on this page is proprietary and may not be reproduced or disclosed to any other parties for any other purpose without the expressed written permission of Microsemi. ACUG_Ver1_12/2011 2 of detecting objects other than those made of metal. It is impossible for a metal detector to detect a non-metallic object of any size, composition or temperature. In order to fully understand the functionality of the AllClear, a clear understanding of millimeter wave technology is necessary. Passive Millimeter Wave Theory All non-metallic objects emit electromagnetic energy based on their temperature. This means that if the energy from an object is analyzed, the temperature of the object can be determined. However, this has also been proven to work in reverse. If the temperature of a specific object is known, detectors which are designed to detect energy being emitted can be used to identify objects in the area of the temperature. Millimeter waves do not generally get blocked by fabric materials. This makes millimeter waves ideal for detecting objects hidden behind clothing and other coverings on the human body. There are three basic ways in which millimeter waves behave when their travel path intersects with an object: Reflectors - Similar to the way light is reflected by a mirror, objects made of metal reflect millimeter wave energy. These objects emit very little energy until they are heated well above temperatures at which a human could handle them, or conceal them. Just as you may have trouble using a cell phone in a metal building or elevator, these materials are considered blockers of electromagnetic emissions. The AllClear can detect these objects because they are blocking the natural energy emitted by the human by reflecting the environment. Absorbers – Most other materials fall into this category. They are dense enough to block or partially block millimeter wave energy. Materials such as wood, ceramics, glass and dense plastics are examples. These materials will appear as either slightly cooler than or warmer than the human body. Because of this difference the AllClear can detect the object. Transparent – These materials have very little effect on millimeter wave energy. Examples are woven fabrics, drywall, thin sheets of plastic and polymers. Health Concerns Our passive millimeter wave device emits absolutely no radiation or harmful energy to any individual involved in the scanning/screening process. Passive millimeter wave devices simply receive and measure the body’s natural millimeter wave energy, eliminating the person’s concerns for safety and privacy. Therefore, the AllClear may be used to scan women who are pregnant or may be Use or disclosure of information contained on this page is proprietary and may not be reproduced or disclosed to any other parties for any other purpose without the expressed written permission of Microsemi. ACUG_Ver1_12/2011 3 used to scan those individuals who have medical devices implanted within or attached to their bodies. The AllClear poses no health risks to anyone, including children. Object Detection Utilizing millimeter wave technology, the AllClear will detect an object as small as 3.8 x 3.8 cm (1.5” x 1.5”), whether metallic or non-metallic hidden on the body of an individual. The AllClear is used for scanning the outside body surface and can not be used for detecting objects in body cavities. The list of objects detectable includes, but is not limited to: Metallic Objects – No matter what the visible color, curved or flat surface, metallic objects will appear shiny and reflective since metallic objects do not emit energy, but instead block the energy being emitted from the body of an individual. The thickness and the temperature of the metallic object are not of importance. Objects including – Metal Weaponry, such as guns and knives Sheet metal or aluminum Ferrous or Non-Ferrous Non-metallic Objects – All non-metallic objects absorb energy differently, some more than others. Cloth for example absorbs very little millimeter wave energy since millimeter waves pass through. Some materials however do absorb more than others, silk and leather being examples. Liquids and gels absorb at a higher level because like the skin of a human body, they are comprised of mostly water millimeter waves do not pass through. Consider this example, think of your microwave oven. The…
