Abstract :
This paper presents a novelistic method of earthquake and tsunami forecasting system and the design and testing of UWB antennas for predicting applications. One of the most exciting applications which require the UWB antenna is wideband capturing of the electromagnetic waves for wireless communication. These antennas transmit lower short microwave pulses (ten picoseconds to nanoseconds) into the space and detect the differentiated scattering due to the dielectric constant between normal and abnormal earth and ocean beats. An UWB compact antenna array is employed to conduct a 3D scan through a so-called digital beam forming in space time domain.
