Development and Testing of a Multiple Frequency Continuous Wave Radar for Target Detection and Classification

Abstract

This report presents the development of a multiple frequency continuous wave radar for target detection and classification. The radar design incorporates specifications germane to both basic research and personnel detection applications. An extensive database of radar signatures is collected, processed, and analyzed. The radar signataure database contains data from human, vehicle and animal subjects. The subjects undergo significant variation in velocity, range, approach angle, and posture to represent potential operational conditions. The radar's detection and ranging performance is predicted and Tested. Classification performance is experimentally quantified using the acquired database. wave
