Remote monitoring by impulse radar

Abstract

This master thesis is centered on development of signal processing algorithms for an Ultra - Wideband (UWB) Radar system. The goal of signal processing algorithms is to identify components of radar received signal. Moreover, implementing algorithms for checking both static and moving objects, estimating the distance from an object, and tracking the moving object. In this thesis we use a new type of Novelda UWB radar for indoor applications. It consists of two compact directional UWB antennas and a CMOS transceiver for the purpose of signal transmission and reception. Theoretical analysis for the provided algorithms and their evaluations by practical measurements are presented in this thesis. All the signal processing algorithms are performed in MATLAB 2012a.
