Abstract

UWB signals can propagate in cluttered environment and opaque media that enables exploring hidden homogeneities through registering and processing backscattered signals. One of such an application is UWB through-wall vision radar (UWBR), Sostanovsky (2004a), Radar Vision (2005). A prototype of low-complexity and low-cost portable UWBR sensor with a small receiving antenna array is presented. Several key implementation issues are discussed including design of antennas and other electromagnetic-related aspects of signal processing algorithms for time-domain focusing and imaging. Simulated and measured radar images demonstrate radar operation to map out a person behind walls.
