Sensing-through-wall will benefit various applications such as emergence rescues and military operations. In order to add more signal processing functionality, it is vital to understand the characterization of sense-through-wall channel. In this paper, we propose a statistical channel model on a basis of real experimental data using UWB noise radar. We employ CLEAN algorithm to obtain the multipath channel impulse response (CIR) and observe that the channel amplitude at each path can be accurately characterized as T location-scale distribution. We also analyze that the multipath contributions arrive at the receiver are grouped into clusters. The time of arrival of clusters can be modeled as a Poisson arrival process, while within each cluster, subsequent multipath contributions or rays also arrive according to a Poisson process. However, these arrival rates are much smaller than those of indoor UWB channels.
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.
