Summary:
In this paper, the developmental progress of a new microwave location monitoring system with principles of the system operation is described. The system basically utilizes the principles of an FM radar and a microwave interferometer, but the targets of this radar are active and provide amplification of the incoming signal and change the signal frequencies. Also, each target possesses a switch which can be turned on if a certain target is called by the base unit. This microwave location monitoring system is planned to operate for monitoring land slides reliably even in bad weather conditions and in dusty environments, and can be implemented with low cost.Index Terms ?
