This second edition of a Artech House classic, written by a prominent expert in the field, has been updated and expanded to include the latest breakthroughs in vital sign and gender recognition via micro-radar. It also covers basic principles of the Doppler effect and micro-Doppler effect, as well as describing basic applications of micro-Doppler signatures in radar. The book presents detailed procedures for generating and analyzing micro-Doppler signatures from radar signals, allowing readers to model and animate objects with movement, simulate radar returns from the object, and generate micro-Doppler signatures.

The book also includes coverage of the Google project "Soli," which demonstrated the use of radar micro-Doppler effect to sense and recognize micro motions of human hand gestures for controlling devices. It also discusses noncontact detection of human vital signs (micro motions of breathing and heart beating) using radar, another important application of radar micro-Doppler sensors. Detailed MATLAB source codes for simulating radar backscattering from targets with various motions are provided, along with source codes for generating micro-Doppler signatures and analyzing characteristics of targets.

This comprehensive guide is essential for researchers, engineers, and students in the fields of radar, medical imaging, and motion detection, providing a deep understanding of the latest advancements in micro-Doppler technology.
