Doppler signatures of radar backscattering from objects with micro motions

Chen, V.C.·2008·IET Signal Processing

Abstract

Radar backscattering from objects with micro-motions is subject to Doppler modulations that help determine dynamic properties of objects and provide useful information about the objects. Doppler modulations represented by joint time–frequency analysis provide useful time-varying Doppler characteristics and, thus, add additional time-dimension information to exploit motion characteristics. The author discusses how to simulate radar backscattering from objects with rigid body motions and objects with non-rigid body motions, and how to analyse, interpret and characterise Doppler signatures of objects that undergo these micro-motions. Precession heavy top and human locomotion are used as examples of rigid and non-rigid body motions, respectively. Radar micro-Doppler signatures derived from these motions illustrate the potential of the joint time–frequency analysis for exploiting kinetic and dynamic properties of objects.

Claims the paper makes

This paper’s full text isn’t openly available, so its claims and self-check weren’t run. The registry and citation checks still apply.

Claims other papers make about this one

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The embedded application of the millimeter-wave (mmW) radar-based human activity classification applies an acceleration method of the convolutional neural network (CNN) on the FPGA hardware.

  • The characterization of time-frequency is used to represent the human micro-Doppler (mD) signals, where micromotions of targets causes the frequency modulation in radar echoes.

    “The characterization of time-frequency is used to represent the human micro-Doppler (mD) signals, where micromotions of targets causes the frequency modulation in radar echoes.”
  • The mmW radar is appropriate to be used due to the short wavelength where it benefits the mD measurement in time-frequency domains by causing wide dynamic range of mD frequency corresponding to human gait patterns.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
