Multipath Propagation of UWB Through-Wall Radar and EMC Phenomena
نویسندگان
چکیده
The UWB (ultra wide band) radar output signals can be substantially affected due to electromagnetic wave propagation through obstacles (such as walls) and multipath effects, too. Multipath effects are analyzed and simulated numerically for various cases with several antenna heights and distances. Delays (due to propagation through walls and various paths of direct and reflected rays) and the ringing (similar to UWB propagation through wall) can be clearly observed and analyzed. Moreover, frequency spectra analyses can demonstrate both UWB interferences and susceptibility from electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) viewpoint.

UWB Propagation through Walls
The propagation of ultra wide band (UWB) signals through walls is analyzed. For this propagation studies, it is necessary to consider not only propagation at a single frequency but in the whole band. The UWB radar output signal is formed by both transmitter and antenna. The effects of antenna receiving and transmitting responses for various antenna types (such as small and aperture antennas) ar...
متن کاملDirectional Multipath Exploitation for Stationary Target Localization with a Single-Antenna
In this paper, we propose a new multipath exploitation approach for stationary urban target localization with a single radar unit. The proposed non-coherent approach utilizes the embedded directivity in ultra wideband (UWB) antennas to estimate target positions using interior wall multipath returns. We assume resolvability of the multipath components, which is made possible by virtue of using U...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Time Reversal Technique – A New Way of Exploiting Multipath for Various Kinds of Radar
The Electromagnetic Time Reversal (TR) technique is based on the time invariance property of electromagnetic waves. For every forward electromagnetic wave, there exist a back propagating wave which follows the same path. If the medium has less loss and is inhomogeneous, then TR provides better crossrange resolution. The purpose of this paper is to showcase the improved properties of TR and its ...

UWB (Ultra Wide-Band) pulse radar is promising for surveillance systems because it has an outstanding high range-resolution. To realize an accurate UWB radar imaging system, we propose a new approach that employs multipath echoes from a target in an indoor environment. Using multipath echoes, the proposed system can accurately estimate images, even for targets in a shadow region where the targe...
متن کاملAn Application of SAGE Algorithm for UWB Propagation Channel Estimation
In this paper, a new Ultra Wideband (UWB) channel estimation algorithm, UWB-SAGE (Space Alternating Generalized Expectation Maximization) is proposed. This algorithm is an extension of conventional SAGE algorithm which is often adopted for wideband channel estimation. The algorithm divides the measured data into individual ray paths and estimates the directions of arrival, propagation time, and...
