Fast imaging method for security systems using ultrawideband radar

Abstract

We propose a fast method of ultrawideband (UWB) radar imaging that can be applied to a moving target, having in mind such application as concealed weapon detection. We demonstrate the performance of the proposed method using simulations and measurements with static and moving targets. We also compare the computational complexity of the proposed method with that of a conventional method to clarify the feasibility of applying the proposed method to the intended real-time systems.
