An Experimental Study on Multi-static Ultra Wideband Radar Imaging with SEABED and Synthetic Aperture
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a comparison study on the application of two electromagnetic inverse scattering algorithms, SEABED [1] and the synthetic aperture method, to experimental multi-static UWB (Ultra Wide-Band) radar data. A linear UWB antenna array with a wideband frequency (1.5-8 GHz) was used for the multi-static radar measurement in a realistic environment. The results clearly show the advantage and disadvantage of the algorithms. The synthetic aperture method is more stable but has poor resolution whereas the SEABED has a higher resolution but gives false images or poor resolution for multiple targets located close together.

Multi-Static UWB Radar Approach Based on Aperture Synthesis of Double Scattered Waves for Shadow Region Imaging
The applicability in harsh optical environments, such as dark smog, or strong backlight of ultra-wide band (UWB) pulse radar has a definite advantage over optical ranging techniques. We have already proposed the extended Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) algorithm employing double scattered waves, which aimed at enhancing the reconstructible region of the target boundary including shadow region.

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...
