Phenomenological scattering analysis of an RF Area Secure Perimeter

Surveillance of perimeters is essential, especially for critical infrastructure such as transportation hubs, power stations, chemical facilities and others. There are many approaches to perimeter surveillance, but most of these require large upfront investments. This investigation uses advanced electromagnetic modeling techniques with real human body geometries to establish the best set of detectable features using the Wireless Area Secure Perimeter (WASP) system geometry. Using the frequency, power level, network configuration, and antennas employed by WASP, predictions on limits to target recognition are presented, along with recommendations for system reconfiguration for improving target characterization.
