  3. Abstract:
  4. Inherent properties of UWB signals prevent both coherent and noncoherent processing with conventional methods used in narrow-band RADARs. In this paper, we show how to exploit the Hough transform, first developed to detect lines in an image distorted by noise, to detect moving objects from successive scans that are corrupted by noise and clutter. We discuss why conventional methods fail to process UWB pulses noncoherently/coherently and investigate different aspects of using the Hough transform in noncoherent integration of UWB signals. Simulation results to support our approach are also presented. © 2008 EuMA
