Abstract
In this thesis, the problem of multipath propagation in Through-the-Wall Radar Imaging (TWRI) has been considered from a sparse reconstruction perspective. Compressive Sensing (CS) allows for excellent imaging results in scenarios with limited measurements of the scene. Utilizing a ray-tracing model for the propagation of the electromagnetic waves, multipath has been exploited in the image formation. CS-based multipath exploitation methods have been proposed which yield highly-resolved and artifact-free images of stationary and moving targets. Adverse effects related to reflections from the building structure have been tackled using joint reconstruction approaches.
