Abstract

A numeric simulation of a multistatic radar using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method and particle swarm optimization (PSO) is implemented in order to localize an intruder inside a laboratory complex. In order to obtain high resolution and to avoid interference with other radiosystems, the radar operates with ultra-wideband pulses and spectral spreading. The transmitted signal has a spectral peak at 1 GHz and the bandwidth of approximately 1 GHz. To estimate the location of the target, two transmitters and nine receivers are used. The transmitters operate in TDM mode in order to avoid interference between them.
