Ultrawideband Radar

Providing a practical review of the latest technology in the field, Ultrawideband Radar Applications and Design presents cutting-edge advances in theory, design, and practical applications of ultrawideband (UWB) radar. This book features contributions from an international team of experts to help readers learn about a wide range of UWB topics, including:History of the technologyAmerican and European governmental regulations and key definitionsNonsinusoidal wave propagation theoryRandom signal radarObject detection by ground permittivity measurementsLarge-target backscattering effectsMedical applicationsLarge current radiator antenna designMaterials-penetrating theoryRadar signal processingWeak-signal detection methodsHolographic and real time radar imaging

This book’s contributors use practical information to illustrate the latest theoretical developments and demonstrate UWB radar principles through case studies. Radar system engineers will find ideas for precision electronic sensing systems for use in medical, security, industrial, construction, and geophysical applications, as well as those used in archeological, forensic and transportation operations.
