Numeric Simulations for Sensing Through the Wall Radar

Abstract

This paper presents numeric simulations related to sensing through the wall radar technologies. Our computational approaches include the Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) algorithm and the shooting and bouncing ray technique (Xpatch). We analyze the radar signatures of the human body and other objects, in free-space and inside a room. The emphasis is on radar scattering phenomenology, with results presented as Radar Cross Section (RCS) and Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) images.
