In this paper, we present an effective technique to detect and localize a moving target behind the wall. The method based on one transmitter and two receiver antenna system configuration. The precision of the method is first surveyed by simulating a hypothetical target. Then, the algorithm is tested with a real data gathered from a measurement that was accomplished behind a brick wall with an ultra-wide-band (UWB) transceiver system. Thru-the-wall radar imaging results show that algorithm successfully detects and indicates the correct locations of a moving person behind the wall. Our numerical and experimental studies in this work clearly demonstrate that the proposed method can be appropriately used in similar TWR applications or localization problems.
