Abstract :
An 8-10 GHz imaging radar system has been presented, demonstrating excellent experimental results when implementing STW applications on drywall material. As an extension, a reconfigurable ultra-wide band STW radar system is proposed to be employed in conjunction with various types of building materials. The reconfigurable system can be reconfigured using four SPDT switches to operate at either a 1-3 GHz or 8-10 GHz, while utilizing the same ADC and FPGA board. Preliminary results are encouraging and will be presented in detail.
