Abstract: An infra red intrusion detection system employs a transmitter unit having a plurality of transmitters (At, Bt, Ct, Dt) arranged in a transmitter housing and a plurality of receivers (Ar, Br, Cr, Dr) arranged in a receiver housing that is separate from the transmitter housing. A transmitter controller (2, 4, 6, 8) causes the transmitters to transmits in a predetermined sequence and at a predetermined transmit rate. A receiver controller (20, 22, 24, 26) is arranged to read the receiver inputs in a predetermined sequence and at a predetermined receive rate. By arranging for the transmit and receive rates to be different, the need for a synchronising link between the transmitters and the receivers is avoided, thus providing simplification. <IMAGE>

Abstract: In a radio system that employs frequency hopping (FH), access time delay is reduced, without compromising processing gain, by adding direct-sequence (DS) spreading to the system. This results in a hybrid FH/DS system, wherein the use of DS spreading permits a reduction in the number of hop frequencies used during start-up. Once synchronization is achieved, pure FH spreading, rather than the hybrid FH/DS spreading, along with a greater number of hop frequencies are used.
