Abstract
The intrusion detection capability of a guided wave radar intrusion detection system is selectively disabled in certain areas, such as gates or portals to permit ingress and egress of personnel and vehicles without affecting overall system performance and without requiring an independent detection system. This is realized by means of an integral system portal enable-disable device. Guided wave radar intrusion detection systems employ two parallel leaky transmission lines, one transmitting and the other receiving radar signals. Violation of the area between the leaky transmission lines by an intruder results in a signal that indicates the occurrence and its location. Gate areas are remotely enabled or disabled by a switching circuit that switches a segment of non-radiating transmission line into or out of the transmitting leaky transmission line in each selected gate region.
