Nevertheless, micro-Doppler for the specific Forward Scattering Radar (FSR) system has yet to be analyzed and investigated in detail; consequently, information carried by the micro-Doppler in FSR is not fully understood. This paper demonstrates the feasibility and effectiveness of FSR in detecting and extracting micro-Doppler signature generated from a target\u2019s micro-motions. Comprehensive theoretical analyses and simulation results followed by experimental investigations into the feasibility of using the FSR for detecting micro-Doppler signatures are presented in this paper. The obtained results verified that the FSR system is capable of detecting micro-Doppler signature of a swinging pendulum placed on a moving trolley and discriminating different swinging speeds. Furthermore, human movement and micro-Doppler from hand motions can be detected and monitored by using the FSR system which resembles a potential application for human gait monitoring and classification.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/rs9070699","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,6]],"date-time":"2017-07-06T10:55:45Z","timestamp":1499338545000},"page":"699","update-policy":"https:\/\/summer-heart-0930.chufeiyun1688.workers.dev:443\/https\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Micro-Doppler Estimation and Analysis of Slow Moving Objects in Forward Scattering Radar System"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Raja Syamsul Azmir Raja","family":"Abdullah","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Wireless and Photonic Networks Research Centre, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), 43400 Serdang Selangor, Malaysia"}]},{"given":"Ali","family":"Alnaeb","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wireless and Photonic Networks Research Centre, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), 43400 Serdang Selangor, Malaysia"}]},{"given":"Asem Ahmad","family":"Salah","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wireless and Photonic Networks Research Centre, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), 43400 Serdang Selangor, Malaysia"}]},{"given":"Nur Emileen Abdul","family":"Rashid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), 40450 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia"}]},{"given":"Aduwati","family":"Sali","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Wireless and Photonic Networks Research Centre, Faculty of Engineering, Universiti Putra Malaysia (UPM), 43400 Serdang Selangor, Malaysia"}]},{"given":"Idnin","family":"Pasya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), 40450 Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,6]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1630","DOI":"10.1109\/JRPROC.1960.287679","article-title":"Forward scattering by coated objects illuminated by short wavelength radar","volume":"48","author":"Hiatt","year":"1960","journal-title":"Proc.
