Data fusion from UWB radar network: Preliminary experimental results

Abstract

In this paper, we present the data fusion procedure for ultra wideband (UWB) radar-based tracking of moving persons. It extends a previously proposed complex radar signal processing procedure for multiple target scenarios designed for single through wall UWB radar with small antenna array. The performance of introduced approach is illustrated and validated by the scenario in which two moving persons are detected and tracked by a UWB radar network consisting of two independent radar systems. These preliminary experimental results confirm improvement of target observability whereby the low complexity of the original procedure is preserved.
