Efficient Implementation of Radar Imaging Techniques Including Time Gating Clutter Removal for Through the Walls Applications by Orlandino Testa, Stefano Pisa, Renato Cicchetti

“…Given the relevance of such applications, some imaging algorithms are reformulated using a consistent formalism applied with a very efficient region-of-interest grid step. Moreover, to reduce the computation time, the numerical procedures are structured in such a way to employ fast Fourier transform or inverse fast Fourier transform algorithms whenever it results possible, while to reduce the artifact effects due to antenna and wall reflections, the time domain gating technique is implemented. …”
