Abstract

Sensing vital parameters especially respiration, is important in many application fields, such as military services, medical activities, and rescue missions. Because of high resolution and appropriate penetrating factors, ultra wide band (UWB) radars have got more attention in these applications. In this study, we use UWB radar to detect respiratory signal of hidden human behind a wall. Acquiring the optimal transmitted signal, to obtain the best detection result in receiver’s output is the novelty and the aim of our proposed work. For this purpose, we test Gaussian signal and some derivatives of this signal as transmitted signal and compare the receiver output results. To extract the required information about the target from receiving signal and subtract the background noise, the wavelet transforms are the adequate methods and are used in this work. At the signal processing part, different wavelet transforms will be considered, depending on some parameters such as the distance between the radar and the target or the wall’s substance. With choosing the appropriate wavelet transform we can detect accurate human breathing signal affected by background noise that will be shown in the obtained results.
