Abstract

The purpose of this study is to improve rescue radar system with array antennas so that it can quickly identify far-off survivors under rubble. Authors focused on time-variable elements from the respiration of a survivor awaiting rescue in order to remove clutter components, such as the rubble. Authors utilize array antenna and identify the location of the survivor with three dimensions. Authors also examine the effectiveness of this method experimentally.
