CFAR detectors for through wall tracking of moving targets by M-sequence UWB radar

In this paper different CFAR detectors for detection of multiple targets for UWB radar system will be described. In this paper, the cell averaging CFAR (CA-CFAR) cell averaging with greatest of (CAGO-CFAR) and ordered statistics CFAR (OS-CFAR) will be represented. The detectors outputs will be illustrated and compared. The properties of all detectors will be illustrated by real radar signal processing obtained by the measurement with the M-sequence UWB radar.
