Southwest Microwave will be retiring its full range of analog volumetric links (with the exception of TASS units), including a number of specialty analog sensors (300B-33XXX and 310B-33XXX) not listed above. To discuss Path to Upgrade for these specialty sensors, please contact Southwest Microwave.

Upgrade to Digital Microwave

Southwest Microwave has introduced a broad range of digital and IP-based POE microwave intrusion detection links as new-generation alternatives to our analog sensors. These digital solutions couple Southwest Microwave’s industry-leading RF detection performance capabilities with proprietary digital signal processing (DSP) to optimize discrimination between intrusion attempts and harmless environmental disturbances, mitigating risk of site compromise while preventing nuisance alarms.

Performance enhancements of our digital microwave links include the following:

• User-friendly software setup simplifies sensor configuration alignment and testing.
• Advanced digital signal processing recognizes unique profiles of intruders walking, running, jumping or crawling through the detection field and optimizes performance in narrow corridors.
• Fresnel Suppression Algorithms minimize nuisance alarms by suppressing outer field disturbances caused by nearby fence vibration or vehicle traffic.
• Path Alignment Alarm provides early warning alert when the RF pattern is compromised by the presence of foreign objects such as accumulating snow or parked vehicles.
• Integrated EMI/RFI shielding to protect sensor electronics against electromagnetic or RF interference.
• Six crystal-controlled, field-selectable modulation channels with narrow band filtering to prevent interference between sensors. Units can be dual, triple or quad-stacked for ultra-high security applications.
• Flexible input power from 10.5 to 60 VDC (digital models) or IP-based communications and power via single Ethernet connection (digital POE models).
