FMCW ultra-wideband radar for through-the- wall detection of human beings

An FMCW ultra-wideband radar concept for through-the-wall detection of human beings is presented. Propagation modeling through different types of walls and radar cross section measurements of human beings are given. Power budget and dynamic range are computed and discussed for different situations. The realized UWB FM-CW radar is presented and some fast trials of human beings tracking are shown. This radar system will enable large stand-off distance capabilities.
