Abstract

In this paper, we investigated adaptive signal processing algorithms for high-resolution imaging of short range targets by 24 GHz millimeter wave (MMW) surveillance radar system. For test measurements, a step frequency continuous wave (SFCW) based Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) imaging system has been developed by using Anritsu MS4644A Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) and A-scan radar data were collected to demonstrate B-scan target images. We applied SAR processing and MUSIC (Multiple Signal Classification) algorithm for raw data to enhance the cross-range and range resolutions, respectively. The fusion of SAR and MUSIC algorithms is proposed to obtain improved image quality for better target identification and false alarm rate performance.
