Chen V.C. The Micro-doppler Effect in Radar

2nd Edition. — Boston, London: Artech House, 2019. — 450 p. — ISBN13: 978-1-63081-546-2.Written by a prominent expert in the field, this updated and expanded second edition of an Artech House classic includes the most recent breakthroughs in vital sign and gender recognition via micro-radar, as well as covering basic principles of Doppler effect and micro-Doppler effect and describing basic applications of micro-Doppler signatures in radar. The book presents detailed procedures about how to generate and analyze micro-Doppler signatures from radar signals. Readers will learn how to model and animate an object (such as human, spinning top, rotating rotor blades) with movement, simulation of radar returns from the object, and generating micro-Doppler signature. Updated some recent research on radar micro-Doppler signatures (such as quadrotor UAVs, reentry vehicles, and some human activities), and added three new chapters on vital sign detection, hand gesture recognition, and micro-Doppler radar systems. The last two chapters in the second edition are updated Chapters 5 and 6 of the first edition of the book.
