Abstract
The effectiveness of combining correlation of the signal reflected from the object with principal component analysis is investigated, for radar applications—in particular, ultrawide-band (UWB) bioradar systems such as remote contact-free detection and recording of human respiration. Simulation and physical experiments are employed. The signal/noise ratio for which it is advisable to use correlation of signal with reference signal is determined.
