Ultrawideband (UWB) radar applications include nondestructive testing, biological measurements, hidden object detection, and high resolution imaging. Current UWB radar systems work at ranges from less than thirty centimeters to geosynchronous orbits. Advanced Ultrawideband Radar: Targets, Signals, and Applications shows how the next generation of systems will detect and identify objects. Engineers, managers, and systems designers will find the technology needed to build these systems. Topics include: UWB radar applications and new capabilities. How ground penetrating radar return signal analysis can detect changes in road pavement density. How targets affect UWB radar signals and new technology requirements. How time-frequency signal analysis can identify classes of targets such as vehicles, mines, missiles, and aircraft.
Methods for predicting how resonant targets will scatter impulse signals. Testing the integrity of composite structural materials with UWB signals. Special signals for locating victims under a collapsed building. Bio-Radar for measuring heartbeat, respiration, and activity. New developments in noise radar technology. Holographic radar scanning and signal processing for concealed object detection. Through-the-wall radar system theory. Wideband motion sensing techniques.
