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 technology

American and European governmental regulations and key definitions

Nonsinusoidal wave propagation theory

Random signal radar

Object detection by ground permittivity measurements

Large-target backscattering effects

Medical applications

Large current radiator antenna design

Materials-penetrating theory

Radar signal processing

Weak-signal detection methods

Holographic 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.
