A Compact Ultra Wide-Band Radar System For See-Through-Wall Applications, Stephen G. Magoon Dec 2013

A Compact Ultra Wide-Band Radar System For See-Through-Wall Applications, Stephen G. Magoon

Masters Theses

A compact Ultra wide-band (UWB) radar system for through-wall applications has been developed. Lightweight, portable and low in power consumption, it is configurable for both bistatic and monostatic operation. It uses low cost, off-the-shelf surface mount components, and is ideally suited for ranging, 3d-imaging, and wall characterization. Tests show excellent pulse width generation, resulting in very broadband transmission (0.7 – 5.6 GHz) and good receiver dynamic range, resulting in accurate measurement capabilities.
