We propose frequency-modulated interrupted continuous wave (FMICW) signals as a novel wall removal technique and validate its effectiveness through numerical simulations and experiments performed using a radar system built for the purpose. FMICW waveforms appear to mitigate wall reflections and benefit the through-wall detection of stationary targets and of people moving or breathing behind different kinds of wall. date: 2014-10 official_url: http://dx.doi.org/10.1109/TGRS.2013.2295835 vfaculties: VENG oa_status: green full_text_type: other language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_source: crossref elements_id: 962526 doi: 10.1109/TGRS.2013.2295835 lyricists_name: Fioranelli, Francesco lyricists_id: FFIOR62 full_text_status: public publication: IEEE Transactions on Geoscience and Remote Sensing volume: 52 number: 10 pagerange: 6272 - 6283 issn: 0196-2892 citation: Fioranelli, F; Salous, S; Raimundo, X; (2014) Frequency-Modulated Interrupted Continuous Wave as Wall Removal Technique in Through-the-Wall Imaging.
