Human Motion Ground Target Signal Processing of Forward-Scattering Radar Network

The importance of human surveillance and detection of military activities such as border protection or commercial activities such as human trespassing need to be considered in detail. An efficient monitoring system in the area that is difficult to be accessed is required for the safety of the people which can be done with the implementation of advanced technology such as radar sensor. This paper focused on the human motion by using forward-scattering radar (FSR) which may differ according to their miscellaneous types of activity such as walking and running. Human targets with different types of movement were tested as they crossed the FSR baseline with operating frequencies of 3GHz during the experimental procedure. Several stages of signal processing were conducted by using MATLAB in order to extract the information of the target and to analyze the character of the information.
