Abstract :
Preliminary experimental investigations on the application of UWB electromagnetic signals for through-wall detection are presented. Measurements are conducted using pulses with a full-width half-maximum (FWHM) nearly equal to 85 ps. This corresponds to a spatial resolution of about 26 mm. A simple signal processing approach is also introduced to extract the target image from the reflected fields.
