Research Abstract

UWB radar system has higher range resolution at the order of mm, which cannot be accomplished by the optical techniques, and is suitable for the sensors in dusty air, darkness or internal region of dielectric objects. Therefore, this is promising as high grade sensors to, in particular, rescue, or resource exploration robots or non-invasive human inspection. In order to be suitable for various radar applications, this projects focuses on the further performance enhancement for the super-resolution RPM algorithm and the shadow region imaging method positively employing the multiple scattered signals.
