Abstract :
This paper reports on experimental results of radar measurements of basic targets using Ultra Wide Band (UWB) signals. The measurement was conducted in a laboratory room using UWB signals with frequency up to 1 GHz bandwidth. Targets used in this experiment are flat square plate and a square cube made from aluminum plates. It was observed that improved resolution of 5° was obtained with UWB signal, compared to using continuous wave (CW). Up to 3 dB reduction of side lobe fluctuation was also observed in specific incident angle.
