Parallel realization of moving target imaging in 2D MIMO Through-Wall Radar applications

Abstract

Through-Wall Imaging Radar (TWIR) can reconstruct targets which are concealed behind the wall, so it is highly desired in antiterrorism, hostage situations and other fields. To detect, track and locate personnel targets behind the wall, the TWIR must have the ability of high data frame rate and fast imaging speed. In this paper, we analyze the imaging algorithm for two dimensional multiple input multiple output (MIMO) TWIR. To satisfy the real-time requirement of TWIR applications, we design a parallel realization method based on TMS320C6678. Experimental results show that this parallel method can adequately fulfill the real-time requirements.
