We propose and implement a low-complexity dual-chirp FMCW radar system for surveillance applications. The FMCW radar is suitable for the detection of various positions of multiple targets for the monitoring of concealed humans. For a surveillance FMCW radar system, it is necessary to distinguish between stationary and moving targets while maintaining a low level of complexity. However, conventional FMCW radar systems are very complex with many chirps to distinguish between stationary and moving targets. Even in hardware with low complexity levels, in order to distinguish between a stationary and a moving target, the proposed algorithm employs only dual chirps. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm can effectively distinguish between moving and stationary targets despite its low complexity and low-level hardware.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
