Abstract :
This invited paper describes advances in short pulse electromagnetics as applied to ultra wideband (UWB) radar and precision ranging. UWB sensors designed for perimeter intrusion detection, obstacle and collision avoidance and industrial safety applications was described. The design of a part 15 compliant, UWB radar development kit is also discussed.
