PSR-500 System Installation Guide Page 41 / 125 CPN 222-3044-657 Rev B CAGEC F5491 Rockwell Collins - Proprietary Information Figure 46: Detection zone for a human intrusion (left) and for a car (right) Note: the maximum instrumented range of a PSR-500 system radar is 900m. Beyond for the car seems to be truncated beyond this range. Note: the PSR-500 Installer assumes that there is no obstacle in the radar coverage between the target and the radar, and assumes that the radial velocity of the target is high enough to be detected by the radar. The last concept to remind is the « Doppler effect » on which rely the PSR-500 radars. While non-Doppler radars compare radar image after radar image to detect motion in the area, Doppler radars use the Doppler Effect to do so. The Doppler Effect is an effect visible on the radar signal due to the change of range of the target within the observation time of the radar. The Doppler effect provides access to the radial velocity of the targets The radial velocity of a target is the projection of its absolute velocity of this intrusion over the straight line from the radar to the intrusion. This projection depends on the direction and on the speed of the intruder movement: Figure 47: Illustration radial velocity (3D/2D) Note: the radial velocity is independent from the sensor orientation.
PSR-500 System Installation Guide Page 42 / 125 CPN 222-3044-657 Rev B CAGEC F5491 Rockwell Collins - Proprietary Information Doppler radar technology has been selected for PSR-500 system radars because this technology is much more efficient to discriminate targets from their surrounding environment which allows mitigating false alarm rate of the system. Below a certain radial velocity, the system automatically filters out the detections. Doppler radar technology implies installation constraints in order to detect human intrusion with enough radial velocity so that the system does not filter them. One can consider situations where a moving target shows a low radial velocity to the radar, such as transverse trajectory. Therefore, to avoid this case, the radar shall de positioned carefully. This is what we are going to explain in the following section, helped by an intuitive tool of the PSR-500 Installer. Figure 48: transverse trajectory case (3D/2D) 6.1.3.2. Position the radar effectively - Position the radar where you plan to deploy it considering: o Multi-radar deployment: it is recommended to the installation operator to read the associated section of this document. o the zones you previously defined (« Warning », « Caution » and « Exclusion ») o The radar coverage area for the detection of human intrusion (blue zone) o Potential masking that may limit the detection of intrusion (in case of o expected intrusion motion (keep in mind that we need to maximize radial velocity)

(Doppler Effect). As explained previously, PSR-500 system radars rely on the Doppler Effect to discriminate an intrusion from its environment. Therefore, our objective is to maximize this effect otherwise the radar may miss some intrusions. In our example, the expected intrusions are coming from the North West of the site, through the fence indicated by the red dotted line and by the yellow arrows on the following figure: Figure 50: Example on an intrusion scenario on a site
PSR-500 System Installation Guide Page 44 / 125 CPN 222-3044-657 Rev B CAGEC F5491 Rockwell Collins - Proprietary Information The first idea that may arise to a non-informed operator would be to position the radar over the fence so that the radar coverage (blue pattern) covers entirely the fence. Figure 51: Not recommended radar installation In order to see why this type of installation is not recommended taken into account Doppler Rose ». Click on the « Display Rose Doppler » button of the Installation properties window of the radar in deployment. Figure 52: PSR-500 Installer Display the Doppler Rose
PSR-500 System Installation Guide Page 45 / 125 CPN 222-3044-657 Rev B CAGEC F5491 Rockwell Collins - Proprietary Information Figure 53: PSR-500 Installer - Doppler Rose displayed The Doppler rose is the yellow area that tells you where the radar will measure more than [min radial velocity] according to the [intrusion velocity] and the [intrusion motion] (yellow arrows). These Figure 54: PSR-500 Installer Setting of the Doppler Rose The « Doppler Rose » takes into account the following properties: - Absolute velocity of the intrusion - Intrusion direction - Minimal radio velocity of the radar By default, the values of these properties are the following one: - Absolute velocity of the intrusion = 1m/s (normal walking velocity) - Intrusion direction = North/South & South/North trajectories. The direction is shown by the yellow arrows. - Min radial velocity = 0.35 m/s (PSR normal sensibility) Note on the « Rose Doppler » configuration: - Increase absolute velocity of the intrusion will increase yellow area coverage since the radar will perceive a minimum radial velocity of 0.35m/s in more areas
PSR-500 System Installation Guide Page 46 / 125 CPN 222-3044-657 Rev B CAGEC F5491 Rockwell Collins - Proprietary Information - The orientation of the « Doppler Rose » depends directly on the intrusion direction. - Decrease minimum radial velocity will increase yellow area coverage since teh radar will perceive the minimum radial velocity in more areas. motion angle according to the expected threat on the North West fence: Turn the Intrusion motion button to align the yellow arrows of the « Doppler Rose » with the intrusion direction. Figure 55: PSR-500 Installer Doppler Rose aligned with expected intrusions To ensure protection, the area of interest must be both in the blue area (radar coverage) and in the Yellow area (zone with enough radial velocity). The « hole » in the Doppler zone (Yellow) over the fence underlines the fact that due to the radar position, the intrusion velocity (1m/s) and the sensibility of the zone (normal = 0.35m/s), the intrusions in this area will not have enough radial velocity and will therefore be filtered by the radar; even if the fence is in the coverage area of the radar (blue zone). Consequently, we must change the radar position. One solution may be to install the radar inside the site so that the fence is inside the yellow zone (Doppler zone) and to turn the radar toward the fence, so that its coverage area overlaps the fence. See below an example of radar position that will ensure site protection.

PSR-500 System Installation Guide Page 48 / 125 CPN 222-3044-657 Rev B CAGEC F5491 Rockwell Collins - Proprietary Information Figure 58: PSR-500 Installer - Possible Installation #3 One can consider many deployments as long as the area to survey is covered both by the blue and the yellow areas. If deployment constraints impose to install the radar closer to the fence, one solution would be to create a local high sensibility area (0.2m/s for the minimum radial velocity) so the Doppler rose extends a bit. Figure 59: PSR-500 Installer sensibility increase and possible Installation #4 Nevertheless, this solution shall only be used when no other solution can be found since it will increase the false alarm probability in this high sensibility zone. ensure that no obstacle may generate shadow in the area limiting the detection capability of the radar.
PSR-500 System Installation Guide Page 49 / 125 CPN 222-3044-657 Rev B CAGEC F5491 Rockwell Collins - Proprietary Information We need to determine the height above the ground at which the radar shall be installed to taken into account potential obstacles. ample of possible installation #2: - The radar would be at 30m away from the beginning of the area to protect (A value) - The area to protect would start at 15m away from the end of the forest (B value) - The trees are 5m high The formula provided below tells that the radar needs to be installed at a minimum of 10m above the ground so that the shadow induced does not impact the detection zone. Figure 60: Position/height of the radar w.r.t the shadow zone The 10m high shall be set in the radar properties as shown below: Figure 61: Radar height modification
PSR-500 System Installation Guide Page 50 / 125 CPN 222-3044-657 Rev B CAGEC F5491 Rockwell Collins - Proprietary Information The modification of the radar height changes its coverage zone (blue pattern). Nevertheless, the area to protect is still in the coverage zone in this example. If trees would have been higher, the radar would have to be installed higher on the mast and the impact on detection capability may have become significant. The following picture presents a scenario where the radar is installed at 50m high. Figure 62: Impact of radar position/height on detection capability In such a configuration, the impact on the detection capability of a human intrusion would be significant at short range. In this case, a lower tilt angle would be necessary to recover the detection capability at short range (always keeping an eye on the long range as the entire detection capability is impacted by a change of tilt angle). In the case of an installation at 50m high, a tilt angle of -15° would be a good compromise between coverage at short and long range, as shown below. Figure 63: Modification of the tilt angle to improve detection capability

A manual test can be performed by clicking « Reboot ». The associated PU shall restart. If these components are configured as previously explained and associated to the radar, then when a failure will be detected on the SU or the PU, than an automatic reboot will be performed. This monitoring activation is indicated by the « monitored » label that appears next to « Status » in the radar Configuration window when a network component is associated to the radar. Figure 84: Radar monitored and under automatic maintenance 6.1.5.2. Dry Contact trigerring on zone in alarm The Dry Contact module can also be associated to a surveillance zone to inform an external system when a zone is in alarm. The component will then be configured in « Single Pulse » mode, taking care to use a free Reset Port and adapting the pulse duration to the external system interface. Figure 85: Dry Contact in « Single Pulse » mode configuration window Association with the surveillance zone is done in the surveillance zone configuration window. In our example, the CS Z0 Dry Contact will be triggered when the
PSR-500 System Installation Guide Page 63 / 125 CPN 222-3044-657 Rev B CAGEC F5491 Rockwell Collins - Proprietary Information surveillance zone Z0 will be in alarm (only Dry Contacts configured in « Single Pulse » mode will appear in the combo box). Figure 86: Dry Contact Selection for zone alerting When a Dry Contact has been associated to the zone, the « Open » button is enabled, in order to be able to directly open the associated network component. A manual test can be done, clicking on the « Trigger » button. The Rest Port of the dry contact associated to the zone will be triggered for the specified duration. When an alert will be detected in the zone associated to a dry contact, this one will be triggered only for the specified duration. While an alert is present in the zone (the zone is in alarm), no new trigger will occur on new alert. We must wait the zone is no more in alarm before a new alert trigger the dry contact again. If an alert is detected in a position covered by 2 surveillance zones associated to different dry contacts, the 2 dry contacts will be triggered. 6.1.6.

Click « Yes » to save : Figure 91: Close the PSR-500 Installer and save the system configuration 6.1.7. Step#7: Visit the site and Validate/Update the foreseen installation Once on the site, and based on the preliminary installation report, the attention shall be focused on the following « O-IC-S » points: - O = Obstacles between the radar location and potential intrusions you did not expected based on the background map analysis (buildings, vegetation, - IC = Installation constraints on the mast (height above ground of the PSR
PSR-500 System Installation Guide Page 66 / 125 CPN 222-3044-657 Rev B CAGEC F5491 Rockwell Collins - Proprietary Information - S = Spurious activity on the area covered by the Sensor Unit (vehicles traffic, air conditioner, windmills, WiFi transmitter at the same o Traffic of vehicles = traffic of vehicles in the coverage area of the radar may cause false alarms if the operator have not create exclusion zone. Moreover, if the traffic is dense, this area will desensitize the radar for any intrusion occurring on similar range and radial velocities than cars (see complete explanation below). It is recommended to turn the radar away from any busy road. o Air conditioning blocks, windmills = any object that includes a rotating piece in the radar coverage area may cause false alarms if this object is not in an exclusion zone. . It is recommended to direction the radar so that any rotating object in the direct proximity is at the back of the radar as much as possible. o Transmitter at the same frequency band as the PSR-500 (example: WiFi transmitter in the same frequency band as the PSR-500); it is recommended to direction the radar so that the disturber is at his back as much as possible. o Building proximity = the proximity of building is not an issue as long as the radar is not oriented toward it. In case such a situation may happen, the radar may be disturbed by its own emission that is reflected by the wall of the building. This will cause a desensitization of the radar and thus a degradation of the detection performances. It is therefore recommended to avoid the combination of proximity with a building and the illumination of the building. Busy road effect PSR-500 radars map the backscaterred energy in range and radial velocity over their complete coverage (~90° in azimuth) before trying to detect intrusions. Every target over their coverage and moving at range and radial velocity similar to the one expected for human intrusions may potentially mask human intrusions. - It is important to create exclusion zones on these areas to avoid false alarm on such areas considered as public and authorized areas - Nevertheless, exclusion zones will not avoid the fact that some cars may mask human intrusions if they move at similar range and radial velocity than the human intrusion. The radar is therefore desensitized for human detection. The busier the road the higher the risk. In order to illustrate this effect, the left picture below shows a deployment performed close to a busy road. Although the traffic (red area) is not geographicaly in the area of interest for the surveillance (field), the cars move at a range and a radial velocity close to the one expected for human intrusions over the area of interest (as we can see of the right picture which is the range x radial velocity map the radar is working on). The road is in a exclusion zone, avoiding false alarm on cars. But cars radar signature will regularly mask human intrusion radar signatures that may occur on the entire coverage bounded with green lines.
PSR-500 System Installation Guide Page 67 / 125 CPN 222-3044-657 Rev B CAGEC F5491 Rockwell Collins - Proprietary Information In this case, it is recommended to turn the radar to less illuminate the busy road.

Network configuration The SU integrated a DHCP client in order to retreive its IP address from the network. - When the SU is powered up, the DHCP client is started and the SU waits for an IP address. Any IP address can be allocated to the SU. - After 30 seconds, if no IP address is allocated to the SU, it uses its default IP address i.e.192.168.1.13 In order to be integrated in a DHCP server, the MAC address of the SU can be retrieved on the stickers on the edge of the SU.

SU to PU connection The POE connection of the SU to the PU is at the choice of the installation operator. The installation operator shall define the network configuration so that the PU and the SU can communicate, given the IP address allocated to the SU. The current delivered disk image of the PU is configured to be connected with an SU configured with its default address, i.e. 192.168.1.13. If the user allocates a different IP address to the SU through a DHCP server, then the PU will be updated when it will connect to the PSR-500 installer for the first time. Warning: if the default IP address is modified, the PU update by the PSR-500 installer shall be followed by a reboot of the SU and then a reboot of the PU. 6.2.8. Radar Power Up If the PU has been installed in compliance with the installation procedure 226-0098-036_Installation_Logiciels_Activation, then at the power up of the PU the Tracking software automatically starts, configuring the emission of the SU. The SU starts its emissions and the radar is started. The following steps can be performed. 6.2.9. Update of each PU We shall now connect the PSR-500 installer to each PU in order to apply the system configuration previously prepared. The following procedure shall be performed for each radar. - Open the configuration window of the radar to be updated. - Click on the button to connect to the associated PU : Figure 106: Connection to the PU of a radar - All the lights shall turn green. If this is not the case, confer to the debug section in annex of this document. - Since it is the first time that the installation operator connect to the PU (that only have a blank system configuration), the PSR-500 Installer application automatically detect that the PU shall be updated. - The following window automatically opens.

If you don - Re-do the same procedure for all the deployed radars. Now that the system configurations of all the radars are up to date, we can now pass to the configuration of the interoperability of the radars.

Interoperability of the radars Before being able to the do the alignment and the deployment validation of each radar, we shall first configure the interoperability of the radars. Indeed, if several radars shall be installed on the same site, it is essential to position and configure t - Positionning = ensure a minimum physical isolation (see below) - Configuration = in case the radar are in radio visibility , configure the synchronization of their emission (see below definition) Note on the capability of « inter-SU synchronization» The SU of the PSR-500 system includes a GPS antenna in order to synchronize the FMCW emissions of each SU on a GPS clock. This synchronization is essential to avoid interferences between the SUs in case the Figure 108: Synchronization of the emissions of the SU thanks to the GPS signal Note: the GPS antenna of the SU is located at the top of it, it is therefore essential that the top of each SU remains clear if any obstacles with a direct view to the sky.

In such conditions, the two SU . BâtimentBâtimentSU1SU2Les SU ne sont pas en visibilité « visible » mais sont en visibilité « radio » Figure 110: Example of jamming of the SU1 by the SU2 due to the buildings In such a configuration, the emissions of the two radars shall be synchronized. A time offset w.r.t. to the GPS clock of reference will be added to each radar emission. The offset will be different for each radar. 6.3.1. Relative positioning First of all, we must ensure that the physical isolation between two SU is enough: - Vertical distance - Horizontal distance - Respective lines of sight
PSR-500 System Installation Guide Page 79 / 125 CPN 222-3044-657 Rev B CAGEC F5491 Rockwell Collins - Proprietary Information If the minimum physical isolation is not respected, the radar will disturb each other whatever their synchronization properties. The following abacuses indicate the minimum physical isolation to be applied for some typical installations: Installation scheme Distance Same mast Same line of sight Minimum of 2m Same mast 90° between the two lines of sight Minimum of 70cm Same mast 180° between the two lines of sight Minimum of 70cm
PSR-500 System Installation Guide Page 80 / 125 CPN 222-3044-657 Rev B CAGEC F5491 Rockwell Collins - Proprietary Information Different mast 180° between the two lines of sight Minimum of 20 m Figure 111: Abacuses of minimum physical isolation Once that physical isolation is respected, we can now proceed with the configuration of radar interoperability. As indicated above, this synchronization is required if several SU are in « radio visibility ». 6.3.2. Radio environment analysis We must first check that there is no jammer in the PSR-500 system radar frequency band of operation [5.77GHZ 5.87GHz]. To do so, we are going to use one of the deployed radar as « spectrum analyser ». First, we are going to set the synchronization of this radar to be sure that it does not « see » any other radar of the deployed PSR-500 system and that the cleanliness of its signal is representative of the radio environment. To set the synchronization of the PSR-500 system radar, we shall tune the offset of the start time of the FMCW waveform w.r.t. the GPS clock. This time offset is called « delay » and is set in microseconds. This « delay » can modified through the radar network property configuration window. Figure 112: setting of a radar delay By default, all radars are synchronized on 0us.
