Coherent Distributed Radar for High Resolution Through-wall Imaging

Abstract

In this performing period, we have focused on radar imaging with the synchronized RF link. Specifically, after synchronizing, we fix the slave node, and move the master node smoothly, collecting raw correlator output continuously. From the starting and stopping time of the master motion, and the known distance, we estimate the relative master and slave positions in 2D (Figure 1). These positions, and the correlator outputs are combined in a backprojection algorithm to form a radar image of the surroundings (Figure 2).
