Awireless passive radar system for real-time through-wall movement detection

摘要

In this paper, a reconfigurable real-time passive wireless detection system is described. The system is based on software-defined radio (SDR) architecture. The signal processing method and processing flow that enable through-wall target detection are introduced. The high-speed noise and interference mitigation methods implemented in the system for through-wall target detection are also described. A series of experimental results are presented for both large and small human body movements in through-wall scenarios. It is shown that the high-resolution Doppler event history implemented in the system enables the system to recognize and distinguish a range of body movements. The results demonstrate that this real-time SDR-based wireless detection system is a low-cost solution for human movement and recognition, with a range of applications.
