QPS201 Millimeter Wave Scanner
Rohde & Schwartz
The QPS201 is an innovative millimeter wave security scanner. It automatically detects all potentially dangerous objects (metallic or non-metallic) concealed in clothing or on the body
The scanner is used for security checks at airports, for the protection of intellectual property, for the security of public events with potentially high threats, and for access control to secure facilities.
Advantages
- Detection of all types of potentially dangerous objects (metal, ceramic, plastic, liquid, organic)
- Extraordinary body coverage; complete visualization of the head, shoulders, and legs
- High-resolution system, wide bandwidth, and large dynamic range for high detection performance and minimum false alarms
- Certified by ECAC (European Civil Aviation Conference), TSA (Transportation Security Administration), and other supervisory authorities
The R&S®QPS201 security scanner offers very precise and efficient security control while providing a non-intrusive and simple process for the scanned individuals. It consists of flat panels equipped with thousands of antennas that emit ultra-low-power millimeter waves very quickly and an equivalent number of receiving antennas that record high-resolution 3D information. The scanned individuals stand between the panels as if facing a mirror, with their arms slightly away from the body.
To detect visible objects (regardless of the material), the detection software uses algorithms based on artificial intelligence. The scanner searches for anomalies that indicate unusual objects, allowing it to detect unknown and new threats.
The R&S®QPS is designed to protect the privacy of the scanned individual. Instead of generating images, it evaluates physical information. The locations of detected objects are indicated on a graphic representing a human body.
The R&S®QPS poses no health risk. It uses frequencies identical to those of a vehicle’s distance warning system. The power emitted at the location of the inspected person is virtually undetectable. Its magnitude is significantly lower than that of a smartphone’s emissions.
