Generative adversarial networks (GANs) have recently been proposed for the synthesis of RF micro-Doppler signatures to address the issue of low sample support and enable the training of deeper neural networks (DNNs) for enhanced RF signal classification. But GANs suffer from systemic kinematic inconsistencies that decrease performance when GAN-synthesized data is used for training DNNs in human activity recognition. As a solution to this problem, this article proposes the design of a multibranch GAN (MBGAN), which integrates domain knowledge into its architecture, and physics-aware metrics based on correlation and curve-matching in the loss function. The quality of the synthetic samples generated is evaluated via image quality metrics, the ability to synthesize data that reflects human physical properties and generalize to broader subject profiles, and the achieved classification accuracy. Our experimental results show the proposed approach generates synthetic data for training that more accurately matches target kinematics, resulting in an increase of 9% in classification accuracy when classifying 14 different ambulatory human activities.
