The Doppler velocity enhanced 79 GHz band millimeter wave (MMW) radar imaging approach is presented here, assuming a human body imaging or recognition application. There are numerous situations in which the spatial resolution is insufficient, due to aperture angle limitations, especially for vehicle mounted MMW radar systems. As the 79GHz band MMW radar has a definitive advantage for higher Doppler velocity resolution even with a short coherent processing interval (CPI), this study introduces the Doppler velocity decomposed imaging scheme, focusing on micro-Doppler variations of the walking human model. The real experimental data show that our proposed approach provides further improvement for accurate and high resolution radar imaging.
