Abstract
In this paper, we describe three digital moving target indication (MTI) and moving target segmentation techniques (based on target speed) and apply them to short-range frequency-modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar data. The described approaches are applicable to many short-range radar sensors. In particular, we focus on FMCW radar, which are ubiquitous in numerous applications, including gesture recognition radar, automotive radar, and imaging radar. The three digital MTI filtering methods explored are background subtraction, finite impulse response (FIR) filtering, and infinite impulse response (IIR) filtering. Each of the methods is implemented in the time domain for simpler logic implementation. We apply the MTI methods on data sets gathered using a C-band FMCW radar in both a short-range, direct line-of-sight scenario and a complex cluttered through wall radar scenario. Based on the analyses, it is shown that each of the MTI techniques are extremely effective when deployed in the right scenario. Background subtraction is found to be well suited for slow-moving targets. FIR and IIR filtering techniques provide the simplest, one-step processes for moving target segmentation.
