2D Imaging Algorithm for the Evaluation of UWB B-Scans

This paper proposes an ultra-wideband imaging radar system using B-scans for the target identification. The two dimensional inverse boundary scattering transform was successfully applied for through-wall imaging applications. Using this algorithm it is not only possible to detect the target but also to reconstruct the surface curvature of a cylinder behind a wall. Moreover, it is shown that only 24 different positions of the antennas are sufficient to estimate the target shape which results in a low computation time
