In this work, we consider the joint use of different passive sensors for localization and tracking human targets small drones at short ranges, based on parasitic exploitation Wi-Fi signals. Two are considered in paper: (i) Passive Bistatic Radar (PBR) that exploits Access Point (AP) as an illuminator opportunity to perform uncooperative target detection (ii) Source Location (PSL) uses radio fre...

This paper proposes an X-band Doppler radar system to detect heart and respiration of human far away. Through the idea of a reverse sense of rotation when the reflecting surface is perfectly conducting, it is shown that the detecting property of the system can be effectively improved by using antennas that have a reverse polarization. This bistatic radar system can be used in non-invasively sen...

To achieve sensitivity, comfort, and durability in vital sign monitoring, this study explores the use of radar technologies in wearable devices. The study first detected the respiratory rates and heart rates of a subject at a one-meter distance using a self-injection-locked (SIL) radar and a conventional continuous-wave (CW) radar to compare the sensitivity versus power consumption between the ...

Introduction This paper will discuss many of the theoretical and physical principles that underlie the operation of radar systems. The word radar is derived from an acronym for radio detection and ranging. Radar is an electronic and electromagnetic system that uses radio waves to detect and locate objects. Radar operates by transmitting a particular kind of radio frequency waveform and detectin...

Landmines are generally constructed such that they posses a high level of geometric symmetry and are then buried in a manner that preserves this symmetry. The scattered response of such a symmetric target will likewise exhibit the symmetry of the target, as well as the electromagnetic reciprocity exhibited by all scatterers. Group theory provides a mathematic tool for describing geometric symme...

The use of Wi-Fi signals for human sensing has gained significant interest over the past decade. Such techniques provide affordable and reliable solutions healthcare-focused events such as vital sign detection, prevention falls long-term monitoring chronic diseases, among others. Currently, there are two major approaches sensing: (1) passive radar (PWR) which uses well established from bistatic...

Abstract: This paper proposes a novel scheme for multi-static passive radar processing, based on soft-input soft-output processing and Bayesian sparse estimation. In this scheme, each receiver estimates the probability of target presence based on its received signal and the prior information received from a central processor. The resulting posterior target probabilities are transmitted to the c...

This letter propose a new method based on covariance sparse target recovery for Direction of Departure (DOD) and Direction of Arrival (DOA) in bistatic multi -input multi-output radar. The letter use this property that the number of target in the space is low. In this paper we recover the power of incident signal as a diagonal matrix which its diagonal element are corresponding to the impinging...

The feasibility of using GPS as a bistatic radar illuminator for the purposes of air target detection is examined. The power budget analysis is first performed assuming the use of a single satellite, but is followed by a discussion of the expected improvements when multiple satellites are employed. The analysis includes the effect of GPS signal strength dynamic range, also known as the ‘near-fa...
