Linear FM Pulse Radar Simulation for Through-Wall Target Detection at 2.4 GHz

Radars centered in the S-band face challenges in through-wall target detection applications due to high attenuation through lossy dielectrics. This paper discusses applications in target detection, angle-of-arrival (AOA), and range estimation utilizing a proposed pulse linear frequency modulated (LFM) radar centered at 2.4 GHz with a bandwidth of 200 MHz and theoretical maximum range of 300 m. This paper simulates through-wall signal strength at the end of a room at various distances, and target detection of one human target through a lossy 15 cm concrete wall.
