Abstract :
An ultrawideband imaging radar for the study of the surface disturbances caused by submerged mines is described. The system uses an extremely short pulse (0.2 ns, 40% bandwidth) for range resolution and time-domain beamforming for azimuthal imaging. The system also employs a “pulse pair” algorithm for the estimation of surface velocity
