Abstract:
A novel concept for standoff detection and classification of hidden weapons and explosives is proposed, based on a multi-channel millimetre wave FMCW radar system operated in a bistatic SAR geometry. Therefore, a linear positioner combined with a flexible waveguide is applied. In order to compensate target motion during the measurement time, a second receiving channel with a fixed monostatic geometry is used. This paper describes measurement setup, system configuration and some steps of signal processing. Preliminary results from a simulation based on ideal point scatterers are also presented.
