Reading the article, I thought this might be a UWB (Ultrawideband) device. But going through the tech specs, I'm not sure. It just might be, but it doesn't say in the specs. "...of a stepped-frequency continuous wave (SFCW) radar transceiver...The RANGE-R cycles through a sequence of 120 frequencies in 2 MHz increments from 3.18 GHz to 3.42 GHz. At each of the frequencies, it transmits a maximum 32mW power level with no modulation." UWB would work with 500 Mhz or more spectrum, here it's only 240 Mhz, but why not. And UWB would be a pulse-based system. I thought that there were already UWB Radars deployed with firefighters. Can't find any right now.
