Abstract: An intrusion detector system with a transmitter having a clock operating at a selected frequency, a pseudorandom code sequence generator for generating one of a selected number of codes, a modulator for spread-spectrum modulating an electromagnetic signal with the generated pseudorandom code sequence signal, and an antenna for transmitting the modulated signal through a zone of protection; and a receiver having an antenna, a demodulator for detecting and demodulating the modulated signal to recover the transmitter pseudorandom code sequence signal, a clock operating at a frequency corresponding to the transmitter clock, a pseudorandom code sequence generator for generating one of a selected number of receiver code signals corresponding to the transmitter code signals, a detector for comparing the received code signal to the receiver code signal and generating a detection signal proportional to the signal amplitude of the received code signal when locked in phase with the receiver code signal, a phase detector
