15 April 2008Sensing through the wall imaging using the Army Research Lab ultra-wideband synchronous impulse reconstruction (UWB SIRE) radar
The U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL), as part of a mission and customer funded exploratory program, has
developed a new low-frequency, ultra-wideband (UWB) synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The radar is capable of
penetrating enclosed areas (buildings) and generating SAR imagery. This supports the U.S. Army's need for intelligence
on the configuration, content, and human presence inside these enclosed areas. The radar system is mounted on a ground
based vehicle traveling along the road and is configured with an array of antennas pointing toward the enclosed areas of
interest.
This paper will describe an experiment conducted recently at Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG), Maryland. In this
paper we briefly describe the UWB SIRE radar and the test setup in the experiment. We will also describe the signal
processing and the image techniques used to produce the SAR imagery. Finally, we will present SAR imagery of the
building and its internal structure from different viewing directions.
