Non Linear Junction Detector (NLJD)

Prof. Shalabh Gupta & Prof. Joseph John

An NLJD detects electronic devices irrespective of their state (switched on or off) or radiative nature. It can be used to detect hidden electronics that might be used for surveillance of secure and secret/confidential meetings and personnel. Underground electronic devices such as IEDs can also be detected. The target area is scanned by moving the NLJD in the region. In the presence of concealed electronics, LEDs glow up, providing visual indication.

Non-Linear Junction Detector (NLJD) is a counter surveillance system that can be used for detecting concealed electronics. An NLJD detects electronic devices irrespective of their state (switched on or off) or radiative nature. It can be used to detect hidden electronics that might be used for surveillance of secure and secret/confidential meetings and personnel. Underground electronic devices such as IEDs can also be detected. The target area is scanned by moving the NLJD in the region. In the presence of concealed electronics, LEDs glow up, providing visual indication.
