The sensor incorporates heterodyne detection techniques with a local oscillator signal derived from the scanning frequency of the focal plane scanning device. The sensor has a low false alarm rate and enhanced detection range. A method of processing the signals includes analog to digital conversion, integration of the digital signals to produce a background signal, phase sensitive detection of the digital signal producing a target signal, and comparison of the background and target signals producing a difference signal. The difference signal is integrated to produce a background noise signal and processed to become a threshold signal which is finally compared to the difference signal to produce an alarm signal. |
