A Survey of Deep Learning-Based Human Activity Recognition in Radar
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
This work gives an extensive review on deep learning based human activity recognition in radar. The topic is of particular interest and the content is comprehensive. There are some minor issues to be further improved: 1) More references could be involved in Section 3 to make this review more solid. 2) In Section 4, it is better to describe the deep learning methods used in the literatures in more detail, including the data preprocessing, network design, loss function and other training tricks. 3) Figure 2(a) and 6 is blurred. A clearer one is desired. 4) Table 2 could be more compact in terms of contents.

Reviewer 2 Report
The authors present an interesting review of human activity recognition (HAR) based on different types of radars (Doppler, FMCW and UWB). I have small comments:
1. I have only a comment. I suggest to include in table 3 additional comments, for example, the central frequency of the radar or the main application, or if not try to joint the rows for the same type of radar and deep model.
2.Another comment: I ignore if there is any result about the application of noise radar for HAR applications.

Reviewer 3 Report
This paper provides an interesting overview of the deep learning approach to human activity recognition using radar data. It was well written and I enjoyed reading it. Below are some minor comments.
1. Fig. 5(a) needs to have a corresponding system diagram for clarity.
2. The work in Ref. 28 mainly provides time-range maps. Therefore, please check if the discussion about this reference in the paper (e.g., Fig. 2b, Table 3, line 284) is proper.
