Vibration induces a micro-Doppler effect, which contains crucial motion information and features of the micro-motion target. However, the traditional radar can only acquire micro-motion information in the radial direction. The multi-channel radar is capable of acquiring actual micro-motion information in a three-dimensional space, including amplitude, frequency, and three-dimensional direction of vibration. Moreover, the high-accuracy parameter estimation can be achieved in the terahertz band. In this paper, a method for three-dimensional micro-motion feature exaction and parameter estimation is proposed, including a phase-derived-range algorithm, interference, and auto-correlation. Meanwhile, to prove feasibility of the method, the results of simulations and experiment based on a 0.22 THz multi-channel radar system are presented after theoretical analyses.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
