Abstract :
UWB radar systems have several advantages. This encourages us to use these technologies in the medical field. In his paper, we propose to use the UWB radar system to diagnose the human body. For this reason, we present the new design of a UWB radar system that is capable of capturing the image of each layer of the human body. Similarly, we focus on modeling the environmental propagation of the radar pulses to optimize our system. Indeed, we present the propagation medium by a multipath channel that proves the separation of the echoes reflected by the layers of the human tissue for us.
