In this paper, we present a novel, standalone ultra wideband (UWB) micro-Doppler radar sensor that goes beyond simple
range or micro-Doppler detection to combined range-time-Doppler frequency analysis. Moreover, it can monitor more
than one human object in both line-of-sight (LOS) and through wall scenarios, thus have full human objects tracking
capabilities. The unique radar design is based on narrow pulse transceiver, high speed data acquisition module, and
wideband antenna array. For advanced radar post-data processing, joint range-time-frequency representation has been
performed. Characteristics of human walking activity have been analyzed using the radar sensor by precisely tracking the
radar object and acquiring range-time-Doppler information simultaneously. The UWB micro-Doppler radar prototype is
capable of detecting Doppler frequency range from -180 Hz to +180 Hz, which allows a maximum target velocity of 9
m/s. The developed radar sensor can also be extended for many other applications, such as respiration and heartbeat
detection of trapped survivors under building debris.
