Popis: Through-wall radar imaging (TWRI) is the technology that enables imaging obstructed objects using radio frequency (RF) antennas. Due to its vast applications, TWRI received considerable attentions in the past decade. Several modeling, algorithms, methodologies, and propositions were developed to advance this technology and make it more feasible. In this work, a high resolution ultra-wideband (UWB) synthetic aperture radar (SAR) is constructed to evaluate indoor radar imaging (IRI) under realistic conditions and within common indoor environment. Several experiments are considered and well-detailed to account for real-live scenarios. First, the experiment addresses the performance of the constructed system for different targets' size and shape within the same scene. We also examine the crossrange resolution and illustrate the effect of multipath and target-to-target interaction on the recovered images. The produced raw-data can be used for assessing and evaluating advances in radar imaging solutions.
