Ultra-wideband Radar for Building Interior Imaging
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper presents both numeric simulations and radar measurements related to through the wall imaging technologies. We present synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images obtained by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Forward-Looking Radar system during field experiments and compare those with the results of our Xpatch computer models. We also demonstrate a computational approach based on the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) algorithm in order to obtain the SAR images of a complex room. Our goals are both to validate the numerical simulations techniques and to understand the radar scattering phenomenology in this environment.

متن کاملUWB Impulse Radar for Through-The-Wall Imaging
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) is the promising technology for localization of the objects behind the walls. Recent terrorist activities and law-enforcement situations underscore the need for effective through-wall detection. UWB radar signals has extremely large frequency spectrum and since low frequencies has more penetration capabilities through dielectric materials it is best suitable for Through-the...

متن کاملAccurate two-dimensional imaging of a human body in motion using multiple ultra-wideband Doppler radar systems in a multipath environment
This paper presents a method of imaging a two-dimensional section of a walking person using multiple ultra-wideband Doppler radar systems. By exploiting multipath echoes, we can increase the effective number of radar systems virtually. Although each simple radar system consists of only two receivers, different line-of-sight velocities allow target positions to be separated and located. The data...
متن کاملMethod for the Three-Dimensional Imaging of a Moving Target Using an Ultra-Wideband Radar with a Small Number of Antennas
Ultra wideband (UWB) radar is considered a promising technology to complement existing camera-based surveillance systems because, unlike cameras, it provides excellent range resolution. Many of the UWB radar imaging algorithms are based on large-scale antenna arrays that are not necessarily practical because of their complexity and high cost. To resolve this issue, we previously developed a two...
