UWB Radars: Recent Technological Advances and Applications

A number of challenging radar applications (such as anti-personnel mine detection and human being detection) is discussed. In these applications UWB technology has multiple advantages over the traditional narrow-band approach, in particular very high positioning accuracy, rigidity to multi-path propagation and target classification abilities. On a number of examples recent advances of UWB technology in radar have been demonstrated and remaining challenges have been discussed.
