Abstract
Sensing and locating with Ultra Wideband is a quickly evolving technology in automation and disaster monitoring. Features are the high resolution, extremely fast measurements and the moderate cost. For target and object classification these UWB impulse Radars require a full polarimetric calibration. Only by this, the correct target features can be assigned. A complete mathematical description by scattering and transfer matrices is derived. Proper calibration targets and procedures are discussed and evaluated.
