Hybrid Baseband Simulation for Single-Channel Radar-Based Indoor Localization System

Indoor localization with chirp sequence radar at millimeter wavelength offers high localization accuracy at low system cost. We propose a hybrid radar baseband signal simulator for our novel single-channel radar-based indoor localization system consisting of an active radar and passive reflectors as references. By combining ray tracing channel simulations with real measurements of the two-way antenna gain of the radar and accurate simulation of the radar cross section of chosen reflectors, realistic modeling of the baseband receive signal in complex scenarios is achieved.
