Time‐frequency characterisation of bistatic Doppler signature of a wooded area walk at L‐band

Abstract The Doppler signature of a man walking in a forested area analysed at L‐band is presented here. The aim is twofold: to assess the best time‐frequency distribution to characterise the activity; to highlight the similarity of the simulated data to the measured ones to validate the simulation...
