R&S®QPS201

QUICK PERSONNEL SECURITY SCANNER

The R&S®QPS 201 is a high-precision millimeter-wave security scanner designed for efficient personnel screening in high-footfall areas. It uses thousands of transmitter and receiver antennas to emit extremely low-power millimeter waves and capture high-resolution 3D information. The system detects anomalies indicating unusual objects of all material types while maintaining implicit privacy through symbolic body graphics rather than photographic images.

Technical & Functional

Key Features

R&S®QPS201

Frequency Range

70-80 GHz (millimeter-wave).

Multistatic Operation

Thousands of transmitter and receiver antennas per panel.

Transmit Power

Approximately 1 mW (several orders of magnitude lower than mobile phone emissions).

Data Acquisition Time

Approximately 32 milliseconds.

Fully Electronic

No moving parts; stable calibration.

Anomaly Detection

Searches for anomalies rather than specific items, enabling detection of unknown threats.

Symbolic Display

Detected locations marked on symbolic body graphic (not photographic).

Low Processing Time

Well below 4 seconds (optional extremely short processing time available).

Flexible Configuration

Optional shorter panels for lower buildings; reduced width for narrow security lanes.

Personnel Screening Process

The R&S®QPS 201 performs fast and contactless personnel screening using low power millimeter wave technology to detect concealed objects across all material types.

Anomaly Detection Interface

Detected locations are highlighted on a symbolic body graphic, allowing operators to quickly identify potential threats while maintaining passenger privacy.

High Throughput Screening

The system captures high resolution 3D information within milliseconds, enabling efficient screening of large passenger volumes in security checkpoints.

Automated Screening Result

Clear pass indication after screening allows operators to process individuals quickly and maintain smooth checkpoint flow.
