  • Patent number: 4697184
    Abstract: An outdoor microwave transceiver area intrusion detection system includes circuitry for both amplitude and frequency modulation of the microwave carrier signal pulses, which are transmitted at approximately a 50% duty cycle pulses, from a radar antenna to a target. The return signal is mixed with a portion of the transmitted signal to produce first and second doppler frequency signals which are amplified and sampled during a narrow gating pulse. The two resulting sampled doppler frequency signals are alternately switched, in synchronization with the amplitude and frequency modulation signals, into first and second sample/hold circuits to reconstruct the first and second doppler frequency signals. The reconstructed signals are coupled to a differential amplifier to obtain a "range signal" which is proportional to the phase difference between the first and second doppler signals.
