This work deals with guided radar and reports on the experiments and analysis that were performed to obtain information on the function of leaky coaxial cables used as radio frequency intrusion sensors. Four subjects were investigated: (1) environmental effects on the leaky coaxial cable and the guided radar system, (2) use of doppler shift caused by an intruder to determine the velocity and direction of the intruder, (3) target identification, classification and signature, and (4) a single leaky coaxial cable intrusion detection system. The most important environmental factor was moisture, either rain or snow. Results have demonstrated that the velocity of a target moving longitudinally between the leaky cable sensors can be measured, based on the doppler shift in the return signal. Rudimentary target classification has been demonstrated based on a defined target signature--the log-magnitude of the Fourier transform of the target vector. A single cable intrusion detection system was investigated which incorporated a modulation technique which allowed the intruder to be located. (Author)
