05:57 GMT, September 3, 2010 NEWPORT BEACH, Calif. | TiaLinx, Inc., a developer of miniaturized mm-wave radars with integrated radio and antenna arrays, today announced the launch of the Eagle45-W, a hands-free precision Sense-Through-the-Wall Imager.

The lightweight, ultra-wideband (UWB), multi-Gigahertz RF imager requires only limited use of hands and is operated through a miniaturized display. Through the software controlled interface, which is integrated into the wearable imager, the hands are free for performing mission-critical tasks. The user is not distracted by searching for the control functions. The display unit can be mounted on a pair of glasses or goggles for ease-of-use.

The lightweight arm-mounted scanner unit transmits wideband pulses (nano-sec) that are directional and can penetrate concrete walls greater than 16" of thickness. In the receiver, a pulse detector circuit is employed to capture the reflections from potential targets. Amplitude and delay information are then extracted and processed in an integrated signal processor. Advanced signal and image processing algorithms are employed to detect moving targets or the breathing pattern of a person.

"Reduced weight, increased battery life, enhanced user-friendly interface, and providing improved visual perception were the key factors in the design of the Eagle45-W," commented Dr. Fred Mohamadi, Founder and CEO of TiaLinx. "The disruptive Sense-Through-the-Wall imaging technology from TiaLinx assists the user by enhanced situational awareness and minimizes the Sense-to-Reaction time significantly. The combination of the two functions is essential for successful fielding in the near future. Further modifications are ongoing to put the user out of harm's way completely by extending the range through remote sensing."
