quickly and there are no moving parts. During the scan, the transceivers emit millimetre waves and collect the reflected signals. The received signals are then subjected to extensive conditioning and analysis using high-performance digital signal processors with embedded edge AI.
PRIVACY PROTECTED Besides the highly effective, fast, and automated screening that systems like these now make possible, a further major advantage of millimetre-wave scanning is that no images of the person are captured or constructed as the result of a scan. All data exists only in the digital domain and are discarded as the scan result gets displayed. If the system detects an anomalous pattern in the captured waves, signal processing calculates its whereabouts and pinpoints the location on an avatar. Security staff can then perform a targeted manual check, guided by this illustration. By extensively automating the checking
process, millimetre-wave equipment overcomes disadvantages typically associated with human- centric security scanning. The machine is unbiased, invulnerable to intimidation, and can maintain its work rate indefinitely without fatigue or loss of attention. These types of security scanners are now
routinely used for airport security checks, offering a combination of high throughput, high accuracy with a high detection rate and minimal false alarms, and tremendous ease of use. The systems have been a big hit with security staff, helping them work with impartiality while also helping them maintain consistent vigilance throughout their shifts. They have also been used at the entrances to public buildings and entertainment venues, and at exhibitions to protect people attending events.
EASY TO INSTALL AND USE Advanced millimetre-wave security scanners such as the R&S QPS series offer a safe and effective solution for stock loss prevention and
can be installed in factories, warehouses and offices with no special services required. They are straightforward and easy to use after minimal technical training, enabling security staff to quickly become proficient and start getting great results. With these systems, companies including
manufacturing businesses, distributors, wholesalers, and retailers can now significantly reduce expensive losses.
Rohde & Schwarz managing director, Gary Mackay comments, “Employee theft is a significant issue that affects businesses across various industries. At Rohde & Schwarz, we recognise the importance of protecting our customers' assets and have developed advanced security technology to help tackle this problem. Our millimetre-wave scanners offer an affordable, effective and non-invasive solution for detecting stolen items before they leave the premises.”
