Simple X-band polarimetric micro-Doppler analyses of ground moving targets

This paper presents the results of polarimetric micro-Doppler analyses using X-band Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) Radar. In July 2014 the measurement campaign was jointly carried out by Metasensing BV and Warsaw University of Technology. It took place nearby Metasensing premises in Noordwijk, Holland. The radar sensor used in the experiments has a two-channel receiver. Radar data was gathered in two modes: co-polarized (HH) and cross-polarized (HV). During the measurements two cooperating targets were used - a cyclist and a running pedestrian. This paper presents results of the analyses of the observed targets. The obtained results indicate the possibility of distinguishing between different types of objects.
