Wall parameters are essential for compensation of wall effects in the through-the-wall synthetic aperture radar imaging. In this paper, a new procedure is proposed to estimate wall parameters based on the idea of equation solving. By transmitting dual-frequency signals and extracting the time delay and magnitude information from the returns of outer and inner surfaces of a wall, we derive the analytical forms about the permittivity, the conductivity, and the thickness of a wall. Our new approach is simple and fast in the wall parameter estimation from range profiles.
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.
