Abstract :
In this paper the principles of polarimetric Ultrawideband Radar are discussed. First an overview of the state of the art and the theory is given. The calibration principles of polarized UWB Radar data as well as possible imaging algorithms are discussed. Possible applications are listed and one example, to detect certain targets using a polarimetric MIMO UWB radar by performing an analysis of the radar cross section (RCS) of the individual targets, is shown.
