Abstract

In this paper, experiments on through-wall human being detection using ultra-wideband (UWB) radar PulsOn 220 in monostatic mode are carried out. For periodic respiratory motion of human target, the detection techniques employed are normalized difference square matrix method, and reference moving average method with Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). The experimental results for human target detection behind gypsum wall and concrete wall have been separately demonstrated.
