See-through-wall imaging using ultra wideband short-pulse radar system

Background

UltraWideband technology has been the subject of extensive research in recent years due to its potential applications and unique capabilities. Meanwhile, there is a lot of interest and attention on See-Through-Wall application because of current homeland security issues, where extensive work has been performed in the field of short-pulse radar [1], [2]. As the primary advantages of UWB for short-range radar imaging include extremely fine range resolution (theoretically sub-centimeter resolution), high power efficiency (because of low transmit duty cycle), low probability of detection, low interference to legacy systems, and its ability to detect moving or stationary targets [3].
