IEEE GEOSCIENCE AND REMOTE SENSING LETTERS, VOL. 9, NO. 6, NOVEMBER 2012 1079 Through-Wall Detection of Human Being’s Movement by UWB Radar Jing Li, Student Member, IEEE, Zhaofa Zeng, Jiguang Sun, and Fengshan Liu Abstract—Ultrawideband (UWB) radar technology has Furthermore, since radiated pulsed signals occupy extremely emerged as one of the preferred choices for through-wall detection broad bandwidths relative to the center frequency, it is ben- due to its high range resolution and good penetration. The eficial for better separating multiple targets in complex envi- resolution is a result of high bandwidth of UWB radar and helpful for better separation of multiple targets in complex ronment detection. Compared with other radar systems, the environment. Detection of human targets through a wall is remarkable characteristic of UWB radar is the high spatial reso- interesting in many applications. One significant characteristic lution as a result of employment of ultranarrow pulses [9], [10]. of human is the periodic motion, such as breathing and limb It not only allows the detection of closely positioned targets movement. In this letter, we apply the UWB radar system in but also provides information about the shape and the material through-wall human detection and present the methods based on fast Fourier transform and S transform to detect and identify content of targets. As the employed bandwidth is increased, the human’s life characteristic. In particular, we can extract the these advantages become more apparent. Moreover, the UWB center frequencies of l
