Abstract

Micro-Doppler radar is a cutting-edge technology that has revolutionized the field of radar sensing to enable the detection and characterization of complex targets by leveraging their micro-motion dynamics. This paper discusses the design and construction of a 10-GHz continuous wave (CW) micro-Doppler radar, an explanation of how the system operates and extracts data, as well as a discussion of the device’s possible applications for characterizing external vibrations of vehicles under different scenarios. The objective is to highlight the potential of micro-Doppler radar for remotely recognizing vehicle transmission shifts and occupancy.
