Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

ABSTRACT Radar sensors are one of the most convenient and effective options for perimeter surveillance applications, where a narrow‐beam radar is needed due to the presence of various clutters, particularly trees and bushes, in urban and rural environments. In this paper, an efficient short‐range frequency modulated continuous wave radar is designed and implemented in the X‐band. The radar transceiver and antenna are built on microstrip substrates. A 2D fast Fourier transform algorithm is used to measure the target characteristics. In perimeter surveillance applications, it is challenging and costly to differentiate pedestrians from clutter due to the pedestrians' movement within the radar beam's cross‐section and their similar motion to nearby trees and bushes. In this work, a simple method is employed using two receiving antennas and one transmitting antenna, and a signal processing algorithm to artificially create a fixed beamwidth of less than 1.5 m over a range of 100 m, as opposed to the natural antenna beamwidth that would cover an increasingly larger area as distance from the antenna increases. The achieved fixed beamwidth prevents the detection of clutters such as moving trees in the surrounding area. The entire system is built and tested, confirming a 96%–100% error‐free motion detection.

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
