As a hot topic in recent years, the ability of pedestrians identification based on radar micro-Doppler signatures is limited by the lack of adequate training data. In this paper, we propose a data-enhanced multi-characteristic learning (DEMCL) model with data enhancement (DE) module and multi-characteristic learning (MCL) module to learn more complementary pedestrian micro-Doppler (m-D) signatures. In DE module, a range-Doppler generative adversarial network (RDGAN) is proposed to enhance free walking datasets, and MCL module with multi-scale convolution neural network (MCNN) and radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) is trained to learn m-D signatures extracted from enhanced datasets. Experimental results show that our model is 3.33% to 10.24% more accurate than other studies and has a short run time of 0.9324 seconds on a 25-minute walking dataset.
