Radar Micro-Doppler Signatures: Processing and Applications

Radar Micro-Doppler Signature: Processing and Applications concentrates on the processing and application of radar micro-Doppler signatures in real world situations, providing readers with a good working knowledge on a variety of applications of radar micro-Doppler signatures. The micro-Doppler effect appears as Doppler frequency modulations in coherent laser or microwave radar systems induced by mechanical vibrations or rotations of a target or any part on the target. These Doppler modulations become a distinctive signature of a target that incorporates vibrating or rotating structures, and provides evidence of the identity of the target with movement. This book concentrates on the processing and application of radar micro-Doppler signatures in real world situations such as; - detection, tracking and discrimination of targets with movements - analysis and identifying human movement - analysis and identifying helicopters - detection and tracking small boats in sea - analysis of wind turbines Topics covered include; bistatic/multistatic micro-Doppler signatures, decomposition of micro-Doppler signatures, through-wall radar micro-Doppler signatures and ultrasound micro-Doppler signature studies. Radar Micro-Doppler Signature: Processing and Applications will be of interest to R&D researchers and engineers in government research centres, industries, and universities around the world who work on radar imaging and signal analysis, target feature extraction, and non-cooperative target recognition.
