Abstract

Through-the-Wall radar imaging (TWRI) is emerging as a viable technology for providing high quality imagery of enclosed structures. TWRI makes use of electromagnetic waves below the S-band to penetrate through building wall materials. The indoor scene can be illuminated from each antenna, and be reconstructed using the data from the receive antennas. Due to the “see”-through ability, TWRI has attracted much ...
