NLOS Target Localization Behind an L-Shaped Corner With an L-Band UWB Radar

Abstract

For the reason of target multipaths ambiguities, localization for hidden moving target due to lack of line of sight (LOS) path in urban environments is a hard task. To handle this problem we propose a localization algorithm based on the internal connection of these multipaths in this paper. First, we establish an electromagnetic (EM) propagation model based on the characters of the measured signal received by an L-band single-input single-output (SISO) ultra-wideband (UWB) radar. After that, the model-based target localization algorithm is proposed based on a times-of-arrival (TOAs) association method, which is able to match the measured TOAs with the corresponding EM propagation paths correctly. The proposed method can cope with the case while some missing detections of TOAs happen. Simulation and experimental results ultimately validate the robustness and the state-of-the-art performance of the proposed algorithm.

Multipath target discrimination in human monitoring based on MIMO mmWave radar

“…Here, we simply assume the lateral width of the objects is 0, as shown in Figure 1. The position of the radar in the scenario is relatively fixed, so the known lateral positions of reflective objects can be assumed [4–6]. Meanwhile, $$x_{\text{w}}$$ can also be obtained by radar measurement [8].…”

“…and Yang et al. [5, 6] employs two geometric matching factors to locate actual targets at L‐shaped corners using the Euclidean distance (ED) and time of arrival (ToA). But this algorithm is less practical when there is limited or no specific multipath information in the scene.…”

Magnetomechanical force: an emerging paradigm for therapeutic applications

“…As a typical platform for magnetic field supply, the magnetic regulation system contains permanent magnets or electromagnets as ''fuel''. [32][33][34][35] Since the magnetic fields provided by permanent magnets are persistent, the magnitude is unable to change rapidly. 36,37 In parallel, the distribution of magnetic fields mainly relies on the shape and size of permanent magnets.…”

A target localisation method with monostatic radar via multi‐observation data association

“…The MLEs of spatial steering vector and attenuation vector are obtained by substituting Equation (13) into Equation (15) as max L Y ðV 0 ; aÞ ¼ min jjY − SV 0 ajj 2 : ð16Þ…”

“…Researchers of University of Electronic Science and Technology studied TOA-based NLOS target positioning methods in the corner scenario. The two TOAs with the largest echo amplitude are selected to calculate several candidate target positions, then the true target location is obtained by a correlation coefficient function [12,13]. In 2015, Zetik from Ilmenau University of Technology realised a localisation system for targets behind the corner through the reflection and the diffraction signal at the corner of the wall [14].…”
