Through-wall detection of human being with compressed UWB radar data

Abstract

The technology for through-wall human detection with ultra-wideband (UWB) radar was discussed. Due to the large amount of UWB radar data, compressive sensing theory was introduced and compressed UWB radar data can be collected. The singular value decomposition algorithm was used to acquire the singular values of compressed radar data. The compressed UWB radar data were collected at two statuses of human being for gypsum wall. The experimental results showed that the singular values with a human target were increased compared with those without a target.
