چکیده
This paper presents a method of estimating target location and scattered waveforms, whose accuracies are interdependent. The technique relies on iterative improvements of estimated dominant-frequency waveforms. Description of the algorithm is followed by statistical simulation examples. The performance of the technique is contrasted with conventional methods and statistical bounds in terms of target locationing accuracy. Results indicate that our proposed method has a remarkable performance, which is close to the theoretical limit.

Developing a cost-effective security system has been an important issue in crime prevention. Although cameras have been known as an effective candidate for this purpose, they have some downside, such as difficulty in accurately estimating the three-dimensional shape of a target, and the exact distance to a target [1], [2]. Ultra-wideband (UWB) pulse radar is an alternative for resolving these p...
