Abstract
Via analyzing the characteristics of life sign, a novel method is proposed to detect multiple trapped victims by ultra-wideband radar in this letter. The signal-to-noise and clutter ratio (SNCR) is greatly improved. The non-static clutter can be removed effectively. The number, range position and respiratory frequency of life signs can be detected automatically and accurately in low SNCR environment. By using experiment and numerical simulation, the good performance of the new method is proved.
