Abstract

Millimeter-wave technologies for the automotive industry are driving inexpensive source/receiver hardware solutions for a wide variety of applications. In order to accurately assess signature characteristics of various scenes, we tested the appropriateness of using an artificial torso in controlled environments and compared the results to data from live subjects. High-range resolution (HRR) backscatter Radar Cross Section (RCS) data from targets and in-scene calibration objects were obtained using a 75GHz transceiver with 8GHz bandwidth. Data was collected for both the artificial torso and live subjects at varying aspects in controlled environments – this included studying the RCS response at different illumination angles while calibrating the response using in-scene calibration targets. Comparing the HRR profiles has allowed UML/UMMS researchers to accurately assess and demonstrate the utilization of artificial constructs in scenes for testing the system response characteristics.
