            Abstract : 
This article introduces new imaging algorithm suitable for the application in UWB sensor networks. This new algorithm outperforms UWB migration imaging algorithms known from e.g. ground penetrating radar, or through-wall applications. Proposed algorithm produces images of an inspected environment that contain fewer artifacts and are easier to interpret. This is illustrated by a measurement example.
