Abstract

In this paper we apply the Doppler beam sharpening technique of azimuth refinement to the emerging area of low-THz radar. This improves the image quality and thus aids object classification in low-THz radar imaging systems, for example for autonomous platforms. The paper briefly explains the theory behind the process of Doppler beam sharpening; this is then experimentally tested and verified against two closely space corner reflector reference targets.
