2.1 UWB Radar systems 6 2.1.2 UWB Radar Fundamentals A basic principle of the UWB radar is shown in Fig. 2.1.1. UWB radar generates and transmits short pulse through the transmit antenna TX. The signal propagates in an environment. When it meets target, the part of the electromagnetic energy is reflected from the object and propagates back to receive antenna RX. The time delay between the transmitted and received signal represents spatial distance between TX - target - RX. UWB RADAR TX RX Electromagnetic wave Target Amplitude Transmitted signal Time delay Fig. 2.1.1: Basic principle of the UWB radar. Received signal There are many advantages why to use UWB radar instead of radars with continuos waves described in [74, 109]. To name just a few most important the UWB signal can be transmitted with no carrier, the produced transmit signal requires less power, improved range measurement accuracy and object identification (greater resolution), reduced radar effects due to passive interference (rain, mist, aerosols, metalized strips, ...), and many others. 2.1.3 M-sequence UWB Radar System The UWB Maximum Length Binary Sequence (M-sequence) radar system [43, 116, 118, 111] with frequency band DC - 2.25 or 4.5 GHz is used for testing of all of the methods proposed in this work. The first idea to use a very well known M-sequence in UWB radar was proposed by Jürgen Sachs and Peter Peyerl, US patent No. 6272441 in 1996 [43]. The main advantages of using M-sequence radar instead of classical UWB radar are: the use of periodic signals avoids bias errors, it allows linear averaging for noise suppression, M-sequence has a low crest factor which allows to use limited dynamics of real systems and the signal acquisition may be carried out by undersampling. These signals of an extreme bandwidth may be sampled by using low cost, commercial Analog to Digital Converters (ADC) in combination with sampling gates. The block diagram of the used M-sequence UWB radar system is shown in Fig. 2.1.2. The N-stage shift register generates the M-sequence which is transmitted via TX. The M-sequence reflected from a target is received by RX, undersampled, time time

In principle, after the correlation, the output from the M-sequence radar system is the same as the output from a classic UWB pulse radar system. Therefore, the common signal processing techniques could be used after the data are gathered from radars. An analysis of 2 Dimensional (2D) target positioning accuracy for M-sequence UWB radar system under ideal conditions with the concentration on error caused by sampling with finite frequency we described in [2]. Two M-sequence UWB radars with number of chips M = 511 and clock frequency fc1 = 4.5 GHz or fc2 = 9 GHz are used for our experiment. One chip represents time interval between the two nearest impulses in M-sequence. Msequence generator has N = 7 stages. For more information about M-sequence UWB radar see [43, 116, 118]. 2.2 Through-Wall Radar Basic Model Through-wall radar (TWR) basic model specifies all processes which contribute to the measured data. These processes are caused mainly by the measurement system, the measurement environment and partly also by measured objects. For description of this model TWR system with one RX and one TX stationary antenna is used. Antenna signal effects would be shown for both, RX and TX antennas. The electric field which is generated by the TX antenna is called Erad and could be modeled by [79, 125]: E rad (r, θ, ϕ, n) = 1 2πrc hT X(θ, ϕ, n) ∗ √ Z0 √ Zc ∆VS(n) ∆n (2.2.1)
