Title
Indoor Residual Clutter Characterization for UWB Sensor Radar Networks
Abstract
Sensor radar networks (SRNs) employing ultra-wideband (UWB) signals are a prominent solution for accurate localization and tracking in indoor environments. However, tracking device-free targets via SRNs is challenging, especially in environments heavily affected by clutter. Clutter characterization is vital to derive performance benchmarks as well as to design inference algorithms for SRNs. Examples of clutter statistical characterization have been provided in the literature for conventional SRNs employing narrowband signals in outdoor scenarios. However, considerably less effort has been devoted for SRNs employing UWB signals in indoor environments. This paper proposes an approach to characterize the clutter-plus-noise component after mitigation filtering in UWB SRNs. In particular, the statistical properties of the residual clutter-plus-noise are derived by applying statistical tests on measurements gathered in an indoor environment via UWB sensor radar networks.
