Abstract

In this paper an ultra-wideband imaging radar system using B-scans is proposed. Two imaging algorithms for shape recognition are explained and compared. Furthermore, for the first time the two dimensional inverse boundary scattering transform was successfully applied for through-wall imaging applications. The measured radar data of a cylinder behind a wall demonstrate that only 24 different positions of the antennas were sufficient to reconstruct the target curvature
