Life detection and location by MIMO Ultra wideband radar

The detection of micro-motion of human body such as respiration or heartbeat is an effective way to detect the life trapped in rubble. In this paper, the micro-motion of life is regarded as a moving target which can be detected by life detection algorithm and located by Ultra-wideband (UWB) radar imaging method based on Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) system.
