Title :
An overview of impulse radar phenomenon
Abstract :
An overview is presented of some of the interesting issues concerning impulse waveforms on materials. An attempt is made to analyze such phenomena as molecular relaxation, signal precursor effects, self-induced transparency, and the natural resonance theory. Proposed applications for impulse radar are discussed.<>
