Abstract :
We propose an ultra wide band radar system based on a coherent emission of an ultra-wide band antenna array using photoconductive switching devices. The triggering process is obtained by excitation of semiconductor samples in linear mode using a picosecond laser source. The emitting antenna system and the receiving antenna developed by our research laboratory, present some specific qualities suitable for radiation and measurement of ultra-short pulses
