STARS™

STARS system consisting of four Terfenol-D transceivers and a command module.

ETREMA’s Engineering Team designed a half-duplex, multi-channel, wireless communication system called STARS™. STARS™ uses ETREMA’s Terfenol-D technology in a multi-mode transducer* design. The transducer senses structural vibrations (listen) and generates vibrations (talk) into these same structures. The STARS™ system was targeted for the law enforcement community. STARS™ is actively sold and supported through Enforcement Technology Group, Inc. (ETGI, http://etgi.us/product/detail/76).

Each STARS™ system consists of four Sensor Nodes, each containing a Terfenol-D transducer, and a field deployable computer called a Command Node.

ETREMA’s Engineers met a variety of challenges during system development including:

Radio and antenna design
Active noise control
Component packaging and EMI
Web-based user interface development
Micro-controller code development
