Abstract

The progress of the Late Time Response (LTR) method applied to the detection and identification of body-worn hidden weapons has been discussed in [1] and [2]. Efficiency of the target signature extraction and its correct interpretation depend on the system subcomponent characteristics as well as the processing algorithms used. Peculiarities in Frequency Domain (FD) measurements based on a stepped frequency radar technique introduce an ambiguity in the received signal interpretation. In this paper the real Time Domain (TD) experimentation system and new instant signal calibration procedure are described. Measurements were made in an anechoic chamber to provide complete signal control. Signal processing is based on adaptive filtering algorithms to provide equalization by a reference channel in order to remove any Radio Frequency (RF) system distortion of the received signal. A generalized Matrix Pencil-of-Function (MPoF) approach is then applied to retrieve the parameters of LTR.
