PREFACE
WELCOME TO THE TIME DOMAIN RADARVISIONN 1000
Congratulations on your aqutstttan ofthe Radar Vision” 1000 Thmugh- Wall Motion
Detection radar system. Time Damain Corporation has developed this
hand—held radar system to detect the movement and range of personnel in the
presence ofother obstructions. The Radar Visionw 1000 monitors very specific range
gates. reducmg lhe potential for fizlse alarms created by movements made outside the
area of interest. Additionally. short duration pulses that transmit power over a large
bandwidth provide an advantage by making the system exceedingly covert. Because
ofthese and other/entities. the RatlarlfisianTM 1000 pmwdes an optimum pmductfbr
field use, testing. evaluation, and guidance for fiiture developments. RadarVisianTM
1000 Is the first in a firmily of products that incorporate Time
Modulation Ultrathdeband (T M~UWB) technology
The RndurVrsionl" 1000 is a single-unit, battery-powered, man—portable device that
can detect the presence of motion through structures, debris, foliage, and other nonme—
tallic boundaries. The dearVisioul" 1000 scans incremental range “slices” within its
operational field and maps that impulse response into memory. By rapidly comparing
subsequent scans, variations in impulse response can be correlated to motion. The
result is the capacity to detect the presence of moving entities within the mapped area.
The RndanisiouTM 1000 not only has the flexibility to capture data, but also allows
development of motion mapping, radar imaging, and target discrimination. The
RadarVisionTM 1000 provrdes critical, real—time information with a low probability of
detection (LPD). The device overlays and operates with other existing radio transmit-
ters and receivers without interference and maintains covert oonditions by spreading its
low power pulses over a wide bandwidth
This manual explains the operation and care of the Rndanisionl“ 1000 unit. Some
helpful temiinolegy is included to increase understanding of the technology and general
operation of the RndarV-sinnTM 1000.

Unless otherwise specified, the terms uml. radar, and syrtem are used interchange-
ably in this manual to refer to the RadanisionW‘ 1000,
Area of View - The beam pattern radiated by the antenna can be described as the
intersection of a cone and a sphere, with a 120° field of view (120° azimuth by 100°
elevation). This area can be thought of as a half-eaten ice cream cone, where the
portion of the ice cream lefi inside the cone describes the space (Fig p.l). The radar
shield starts its coverage wide and curved and then flattens out as it moves farther
away from the radar. The area of coverage is not perfectly shaped like a cone, as the
sides nearest to the antenna bulge out somewhat When specifying a range gate, the
measurements that are referred to can be thought of as an arc m space with the
beginning and ending measurement being drawn through the forward center of the are
(i.e., range gate of 5 feet would be measured directly from the center of the antenna
outward by 5 feet). (Sec Range Gate, Window)

Blanking -An algorithm that prevents alarms at more distant range gates. This is a
method designed to aid user interpretation of a signal by ignoring the shadow effect
and multipath.
Coupling — A signal that propagates directly from the transmit antenna to the receiv-
ing antenna without reflecting an object
Process Gain 7 The gain (improvement in signal-to—noise ratio) resulting from
processes afier the signal is received. Many data samples are collected and averaged.
By averaging the signal, the signal-to-noise-level compared to a Single sample as
improved, resulting in a process gain
Propagation - The way in which a radio signal travels through the air and reflects
from or penetrates the materials around it. The effect of propagation on radio signals
often results in a loss of signal returning to the antenna. Propagation can also influence
shadow effect
Range Gate - A selected zone being monitored at a specific range (Fig. p. 2). The unit is
designed to detect motion at a specified distance from the antenna and includes an area
proceeding it. Objects may be nearer than they are indicated to be For example, if
motion is detected at 14 feet (as below), the radar W111 indicate activity in the 15 foot
range gate display. Default range gates are set to 5, IO, IS and 20 feet.

Shadow Eflem‘ - The radar momtors multiple range gates to detenrrine if there are
any changes within a single, specified range gate. Any observed changes indicate
movement within that range. However, movement detected in close proximity to the
radar will block a pomon of the energy that is propagated to further ranges. This
movement may cause a “shadow” m be cast upon the more distant ranges The
shadow efiect in the more distant ranges will either cease or follow in conjunction
With the movement as it travels through the specified range (Fig, 113). As a result, an
operator of the system can easily discriminate real movement from shadow effect.
With a single look angle, as in the case of this unit, a subject moving in a close range
gate may "cast a shadow” at a more distant range gate. The radar system effectively
“sees“ not only the presence of the closer target motion, but also detects the apparent
absence, as the signal is prevented from reflecting from objects that are more distant,

Time Mudulan'on — A variation of the time periods between pulses. When UWB
systems transmit a uniform pulse stream, energy is concentrated at discrete harmonic
frequencies within the bandwidth By randomizing the timing of sequential pulses (as
shown in Fig. p. 4), a noise-like signal is produced, and coherent harmonics are re-
duced, This variation has many benefits, including reduction of range ambiguities,
improved eta-location, improved eovertness, and better electromagnetic compatibility

OPERATION 3
INTRODUCTION To THE RAnAitVisiON‘“ 1000 SYSTEM
The Radar‘VisimiTM 1000 was designed to be used as both a portable unit and as a fixed
location unit. Depending upon the use of the product, operation may vary slightly. The
following section will provide the user with general operating procedures and Will help
familiarize them with alternatives to standard use.
Environment
11 is best to limit exposure of the unit to any dust, humidity. and temperature fluctuations that
might make the unit susceptible to condensation. It is also important to establish an
uncluttered area for testing the unit’s performance If the radar is pointed in a direction where
movement occurs outside the test area (such as a hallway on the other side of a test wall), then
the unit may indicate unwanted movement during testing.
Portable Use
When operating the unit portably. the following criteria should be considered:
' Use a solid surface (such as a table or wall) to support the radar.
' Steady the unit against a wall or other surface when supporting the unit by hand.
Unwanted readings may result if operator is not completely still.
' Have both batteries frilly charged and ready for use.
- Do not shake or jar the unit unnecessarily.
Battery
Before operating the unit With the battery. you must charge the battery (it may take as long as
12 hours to charge completely). Plug the battery charger into a suitable 110V outlet and
attach the socket connector on the battery to the matching charger connector. To replace the
rechargeable battery With the backup battery. do the following:
' Turn the unit OFF.
- Demch cable from the unit to the battery
' Unscrew the two locking screws and remove the battery,
- Insert the tab on the bottom of the new battery into the metal slot on the case.
' Swtng the battery toward the case.

Fixed—location Operation
When operating the unit in a fixed or permanent location. the following criteria should be
considered:
- Provide a smooth, level, and stable surface to support the unit (Tripod available)
- F ace the rear (antenna) side of the unit toward the area to be scanned.
' Plug in the power cables.
Power Supply and Electrical Outlets
Turn the power supply “ON” before powering up the RndarVisionTM 1000. Standard 110V
grounded elechioal power outlets (with no UPS required) are sullicient to operate the power
supply.
RADAR OPERATION
The RurlarVisionTM 1000 (used as a stand-alone unit) has a Main Inlzrfiwe LCD screen that
displays radar activity and provides limited messaging (Figure 3.1). There are lhree user
control functions (Tone. Mode. Attenuation). a battery life indicator. an ambient noise
indicator, a tone indicator. a mode indicator, an attenuation indicator. and a heartbeat incum-
tor, Each facet of the interface will be described below.

company information and the message. “Please wail while radar bouts. " The boot up should
take approximately 30 swonds. (Ifthe uni/fails to boot after 40secands, turn the radar ufi’
and msrarOThe Main Inter/ace screen will then appear Thisbackvlit LCD screen provides
the user with a real-time motion display that shows where movement is occurring. Each of four
bars represents a specific range gate (See Terminology section). The radar is preset to 5, 10. 15.
and 20 foot range increments (displayed from lefi to right), If movement occurs within a range
gate. the representative bar will show a solid fill Wherever activity is greatest, that bar will fill
the most, Other bars may show activity due to shadow effect (Soe Termmulogv section) or due
to movement in that additional area.
Generally. the operator can recognize the drlference between shadow died and movement
occurring within distinct range gates. If activity is due to shadow effect, the bars will show
consecutive activity in descending order (ie , the 5 foot range gate will register a solid fill.
and the 10’ range gate will register a partial fill). With shadow effect. as the movement stops
or passes out of the range, the other affected bars will quickly stop registering any activity. it.
however, the bars register activity due to movement in two separate range gates. two non-
adjaoent bars may fill, or two adjacent bars will fill fully
The parameters for each range gate wn be changed via the RadarVisionW‘ 1000 Controller

Mode
The Mode button allows the user to change the manner the received data is displayed; either
threshold or continuous mode The first mode (threshold), is the default and is applicable for
normal operation. Threshold mode displays data registering in each range gate afler an
automatically controlled threshold has been applied Motion registering in this mode is usually
caused by a distinct movement. This prevents false alarms that may be caused by finer
movements from such things as fans. wind, small animals etc.

The second mode (continuous) allows the user to monitor the raw data being continuously
read by the radar. This mode is used to determine the base ambient readings and to identify
very slight movements, such as breathing. Continuous mode displays the bars filled halfway.
This half-way point becomes, in eflect the 0 point. In this regard. the user would be able to
see all movement registering in each channel. This information shows the continuous data
being recieved by the radar before processing. This mode would mainly be used for testing
procedum and development.
A“
The Art (Attenuation) button is designed to allow the user to increase or decrease the
sensitivity of the unit’s receiver. The indicator for Att is on the second row of the top
lefi-liand comer of the LCD display (Figure 3. Z). The default setting is 20 dB. Each time the
Art button is depressed, the attenuation will increase by 5 dB units to a maximum of 30dB.
The attenuation then cycles back to 0 dB. By altering the attenuation setting, the sensitivity to
the received signal will be afl'ected. The lower the dB value, the lower the sensitivity. The
higher the dB value, the more sensitive the unit will become (while the transmitted Signal is not
affected) A user may choose to raise the attenuation setting to achieve more sensitivity when,
for example, the readings from the radar must be taken through particularly thick walls.
Battery life
The BAT bar graph (top right—hand ponion of LCD display - Figure 3. 2) shows the relative
amount of life lefi in the battery. A solid bar represents full charge; an empty bar represents
no charge. While the radar is powered by the power supply. the battery life indicator will
show active power to the unit with a half-filled bar at 12 Volts, The bar will register as fiill if
the power supply reads higher than 12 Volts.
