Nowadays, it is still a great challenge to detect and locate indoor humans using a frequency-modulated continuous-wave radar accurately. Due to the interference of the indoor environment and complex objects such as green plants, the radar signal may penetrate, reflect, refract, and scatter, and the echo signals will contain noise, clutter, and multipath of different characteristics. Therefore, a method combined with comprehensive non-target signal removal and human localization is proposed to achieve position estimation of a human target. Time-variant clutter is innovatively mitigated through time accumulation using point clustering. Ghost targets are reduced according to propagation path matching. The experimental results show that the method can locate the real target human within an average error of 0.195 m in multiple complex environments with green plants, curtains, or furniture using a 77 GHz millimeter-wave radar. Meanwhile, the proposed method performs better than conventional methods. The detection probability is 81.250% when the human is behind a potted plant and is 90.286% when beside it.

For time division multiplexing multiple input multiple output (TDM MIMO) millimeter wave radar, the measurement of target range, velocity and other parameters depends on the phase of the received Intermediate Frequency (IF) signal. The coupling between range and velocity phases occurs when measuring moving targets, leading to inevitable errors in calculating range and velocity from the phase, which in turn affects measurement accuracy. Traditional two-dimensional fast fourier transform (2D FFT) estimation errors are particularly pronounced at high velocity, significantly impacting measurement accuracy. Additionally, due to limitations imposed by the Nyquist sampling theorem, there is a restricted range for velocity measurements that can result in aliasing. In this study, we propose a method to address the coupling of range and velocity based on the original signal as well as a method for velocity compensation to resolve aliasing issues. Our research findings demonstrate that this approach effectively reduces errors in measuring ranges and velocities of high-velocity moving targets while efficiently de-aliasing velocities.
