Abstract :
Ultra-wideband impulse-radio (UWB-IR) has many advantages against video and narrowband microwave radio. In this paper, UWB-IR based microwave sensor watching for bathroom is suggested in order to prevent the accident caused by heat-shock and the performance is experimentally investigated using a vector network analyzer. It has been found from the measurement result that the use of UWB-IR is useful to estimate various dangerous situations such as heat shock in bath room.
