Enhancement of small doppler frequencies detection for LFMCW radar.

ABSTRACT: Detection of targets with small Doppler frequencies of linear-frequency modulated continuous wave radars is the main task of this article. The moving target indicator (MTI) is used to reject the fixed targets and high-speed targets through the radar research area. In this work, targets with small Doppler frequencies can be detected perfectly based on the frequency response of a single delay line canceller followed by single delay line integrator. An enhancement of the proposed algorithm is achieved using a filter in the range direction of the range-Doppler processor scheme. The proposed filter is chosen with certain coefficients after the first fast Fourier transform processor in range to enhance the radar performance. The evaluation of the proposed algorithm is achieved at different slow Doppler scenarios of the target and compared with the traditional algorithm which uses only MTI processor. Another aspect that is important for evaluation of the proposed algorithm is the detection performance of the algorithms through the receiver operating characteristic curves. Implementation of the proposed algorithm using FPGA is performed in real time applications and it is found that it meets the simulation results.

Micro-Doppler measurement of insect wing-beat frequencies with W-band coherent radar.

Project description:The wingbeat frequency of insect migrant is regarded potentially valuable for species identification and has long drawn widespread attention in radar entomology. Principally, the radar echo signal can be used to extract wingbeat information, because both the signal amplitude and phase could be modulated by wing-beating. With respect to existing entomological radars, signal amplitude modulation has been used for wingbeat frequency measurement of large insects for many years, but the wingbeat frequency measurement of small insects remains a challenge. In our research, W-band and S-band coherent radars are used to measure the insect wingbeat frequency. The results show that the wingbeat-induced amplitude modulation of W-band radar is more intense than that of the S-band radar and the W-band radar could measure the wingbeat frequency of smaller insects. In addition, it is validated for the first time that the signal phase could also be used to measure the insect wingbeat frequency based on micro-Doppler effect. However, whether the wingbeat frequency measurement is based on the amplitude or phase modulation, it is found that the W-band coherent radar has better performance on both the measurement precision and the measurable minimum size of the insect.

First in-situ observation of a moving natural pyroclastic density current using Doppler radar.

Project description:Pyroclastic density currents are one of the most devastating volcanic hazards. Understanding their dynamics is a key to develop successful hazard mitigation strategies. The hazard associated with pyroclastic density currents is commonly investigated a posteriori from their deposits or a priori using analogue and numerical experiments. Despite the low probability of observing a natural moving pyroclastic density current, we present the first in-situ analysis of the internal particle velocities of pyroclastic density currents at Volcán de Colima using a Doppler radar. Our data show two Vulcanian explosions, immediately followed by column collapse and a first pyroclastic density current travelling down the south flank with an average speed of 30 m/s (>50 m/s maximum speed) to a distance of 3 km from the crater rim. The direction of the pyroclastic density current coincided with that of the radar beam enabling measurement of velocity spectra (histogram of particle velocities within the radar beam). The measurement geometry enables the simultaneous measurement of the dense undercurrent at the crater rim (with <20 m/s and an increasing echo power over 20 s) and the dilute cloud higher above the topography approaching the radar (with >20 m/s and approximately constant echo power). The presented data set may be used as a benchmark for future experimental and numerical models that simulate the dynamics of pyroclastic density currents. Using the measured velocities of the collapsing column as input for numerical models will permit the validation of the models for the prediction of the true run-out distance, and thus provide valuable information for hazard assessments.

Doppler-Spectrum Feature-Based Human-Vehicle Classification Scheme Using Machine Learning for an FMCW Radar Sensor.

Project description:In this paper, we propose a Doppler-spectrum feature-based human-vehicle classification scheme for an FMCW (frequency-modulated continuous wave) radar sensor. We introduce three novel features referred to as the scattering point count, scattering point difference, and magnitude difference rate features based on the characteristics of the Doppler spectrum in two successive frames. We also use an SVM (support vector machine) and BDT (binary decision tree) for training and validation of the three aforementioned features. We measured the signals using a 24-GHz FMCW radar front-end module and a real-time data acquisition module and extracted three features from a walking human and a moving vehicle in the field. We then repeatedly measured the classification decision rate of the proposed algorithm using the SVM and BDT, finding that the average performance exceeded 99% and 96% for the walking human and the moving vehicle, respectively.

Surface waves magnitude estimation from ionospheric signature of Rayleigh waves measured by Doppler sounder and OTH radar.

Project description:Surface waves emitted after large earthquakes are known to induce atmospheric infrasonic waves detectable at ionospheric heights using a variety of techniques, such as high frequency (HF) Doppler, global positioning system (GPS), and recently over-the-horizon (OTH) radar. The HF Doppler and OTH radar are particularly sensitive to the ionospheric signature of Rayleigh waves and are used here to show ionospheric perturbations consistent with the propagation of Rayleigh waves related to 28 and 10 events, with a magnitude larger than 6.2, detected by HF Doppler and OTH radar respectively. A transfer function is introduced to convert the ionospheric measurement into the correspondent ground displacement in order to compare it with classic seismometers. The ground vertical displacement, measured at the ground by seismometers, and measured at the ionospheric altitude by HF Doppler and OTH radar, is used here to compute surface wave magnitude. The ionospheric surface wave magnitude (M siono ) proposed here introduces a new way to characterize earthquakes observing the signature of surface Rayleigh waves in the ionosphere. This work proves that ionospheric observations are useful seismological data to better cover the Earth and to explore the seismology of the Solar system bodies observing the ionosphere of other planets.

Improving human activity classification based on micro-doppler signatures of FMCW radar with the effect of noise.

Project description:Nowadays, classifying human activities is applied in many essential fields, such as healthcare, security monitoring, and search and rescue missions. Radar sensor-based human activity classification is regarded as a superior approach in comparison to other techniques, such as visual perception-based methodologies and wearable gadgets. However, noise usually exists throughout the process of extracting raw radar signals, decreasing the quality and reliability of the extracted features. This paper presents a novel method for removing white Gaussian noise from raw radar signals using a denoising algorithm before classifying human activities using a deep convolutional neural network (DCNN). Specifically, the denoising algorithm is used as a preprocessing step to remove white Gaussian noise from the input raw radar signal. After that, a lightweight Cross-Residual Convolutional Neural Network (CRCNN) with adaptable cross-residual connections is suggested for classification. The analysis results show that the denoising algorithm with a range-bin interval of 3 and a cut-threshold value of 3 achieves the best denoising effect. When the denoising algorithm was applied to the dataset, CRCNN improved the right classification rate by up to 10% compared to the recognition results achieved with the original noise-added dataset. Additionally, a comparison of the CRCNN with the denoising algorithm solution with six cutting-edge DCNNs was conducted. The experimental results reveal that the proposed model greatly outperforms the others.

Enhancement of Doppler spectroscopy to transverse direction by using optical vortex.

Project description:Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) is a valuable method for measuring particle flow velocities in plasma. However, conventional TDLAS using a plane-wave beam is sensitive only to the laser propagation direction. This limitation is particularly unfavorable for the observation of the particle transportation perpendicularly incident on the material in the plasma-material interaction. In this paper, we show for the first time that flow measurements perpendicular to the beam direction are possible by replacing the probe beam with an optical vortex beam. Because an optical vortex has a helical wavefront, particles moving in its field experience an azimuthal Doppler shift in addition to the translational Doppler shift. Assuming a uniform gas flow across the optical vortex, the azimuthal Doppler shift of the absorption spectrum observed in the beam cross-section varies sinusoidally in the azimuthal direction. The transverse flow velocity is derived from the amplitude of this sinusoidal variation. At transverse velocities above 70 m/s, the measurement errors are found to be less than 15%, with a mean absolute percentage error of less than 8%.

Validation of novel automatic ultra-wideband radar for sleep apnea detection.

Project description:BackgroundTo validate the accuracy of ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless radar for the screening diagnosis of sleep apnea.MethodsOne hundred and seventy-six qualified participants were successfully recruited. Apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) results from polysomnography (PSG) were reviewed by physicians, while the radar device automatically calculated AHI values with an embedded chip. All results were statistically analyzed.ResultsA UWB radar-based AHI algorithm was successfully developed according to respiratory movement and body motion signals. Of all 176 participants, 63 exhibited normal results (AHI <5/hr) and the remaining 113 were diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. Significant correlation was detected between radar AHI and PSG AHI (Intraclass correlation coefficient 0.98, P<0.001). Receiver operating characteristic curve (ROC) analysis revealed high sensitivity and specificity. High concordance in participants with varying gender, age, BMI, and PSG AHI was reached.ConclusionsThe UWB radar may be a portable, convenient, and reliable device for obstructive sleep apnea screening.

Hard shell gas-filled contrast enhancement particles for colour Doppler ultrasound imaging of tumors.

Project description:Hollow hard shell particles of 200 nm and 2 micron diameter with a 10 nm thick porous silica shell have been synthesized using polystyrene templates and a sol-gel process. The template ensures than the hollow particles are monodispersed, while the charged silica surface ensures that they remain suspended in solution for weeks. When filled with perfluorocarbon gas, the particles behave as an efficient contrast agent for colour Doppler ultrasound imaging in human breast tissue. The silica shell provides unique properties compared to conventional soft shell particles employed as ultrasound contrast agents: uniform size control, strong adsorption to tissue and cells immobilizing particles at the tissue injection site, a long imaging lifetime, and a silica surface that can be easily modified with biotargeting ligands or small molecules to adjust the surface charge and polarity.

Doppler detection triggers instantaneous escape behavior in scanning bats.

Project description:Animals must instantaneously escape from predators for survival, which requires quick detection of approaching threats. Although the neural mechanisms underlying the perception of looming objects have been extensively studied in the visual system, little is known about their auditory counterparts. Echolocating bats use their auditory senses to perceive not only the soundscape, but also the physical environment through active sensing. Although object movement induces both echo delay changes and Doppler shifts, the actual information required to perceive movement has been unclear. Herein, we addressed this question by playing back phantom echoes mimicking an approaching target to horseshoe bats and found that they relied only on Doppler shifts. This suggests that the bats do not perceive object motion in the spatiotemporal dimension (i.e., positional variation), as in vision, but rather take advantage of acoustic sensing by directly detecting velocity, thereby enabling them to respond instantaneously to approaching threats.
