A system and method for enabling transmission of a stepped-frequency radar signal can involve a first antenna and a second antenna. The system can also involve receiving circuitry configured to receive detected reflections from the antennas and to generate data including information associated with frequency and phase shifts. The system can further involve a processor configured to receive the generated data from the receiving circuitry and to analyze the generated data to determine information associated with a moving object located at a side of a wall opposite to the system by differentiating reflections of the transmitted signal detected with the first antenna from reflections of the transmitted signal detected with the second antenna.

Moving-entity detection

A system and method for detecting entities based on movement can involve transmission circuitry configured to enable transmission of a stepped-frequency radar signal, an antenna, and receiving circuitry configured to generate data including information associated with frequency and phase shifts between the transmitted signal and the reflections of the transmitted signal. The system also can involve a processor configured to analyze the generated data to determine information associated with a moving object located at a side of a wall different than a side of the wall of which the system is located. The analyzing can involve compensating for the effect of motion of the system on the phase shifts between the transmitted signal and the reflections of the transmitted signal.
