Abstract
In this paper, a novel ultrawideband (UWB) time reversal technique for through-the-wall imaging (TWI) is introduced. The proposed algorithm is based on utilization of spatial and UWB frequency data acquired by antenna array. Scattering data are obtained by transmitting a short pulse from the central transmitter and recording the received signal at each array element. Individual multistatic scattering data matrix according to each antenna is formed by casting the fine and coarse frequency samples of the scattering information. The resulting matrix is calibrated based on transmitter signal and fed into the DORT (French acronym for decomposition of the time reversal operator) algorithm. The performance of the proposed method is investigated numerically by applying it to discrete scatterers embedded in homogeneous and continuously random medium. Numerical results are presented to show the effectiveness and high efficiency of the proposed algorithm for TWI.
