Abstract :
This paper describes the ongoing pursuit of developing a time-domain (TD) ultra-wideband (UWB) microwave imaging radar for nondestructive evaluation (NDE) purposes at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. The TD-UWB microwave imaging radar system successfully combines the time-domain UWB radar system hardware and inverse scattering imaging algorithms for nondestructive evaluation (NDE) and remote sensing purposes in the near-field region. Both the system hardware and inverse scattering algorithms of the system are discussed
