Imaging method: A strong tool for moving target tracking by a multistatic UWB radar system

In this paper, imaging method for moving target tracking by a multistatic ultra-wideband radar system is described. The task of moving target tracking consists in estimation of a target trajectory based on processing of raw radar data obtained from all receiving channels of a radar system. Then, the imaging method applied for target tracking consists of such signal processing phases as raw radar data pre-processing, background subtraction, fusion of the data obtained by receiving antennas of a radar, detection, localization and tracking itself. The performance of the imaging method described in this paper is demonstrated by signal processing obtained by M-sequence UWB radar for a scenario represented by through wall tracking of a single moving target. The obtained results confirm the excellent performance of the discussed method.
