Abstract :
The precision of radar range measurements depends on certain conditions. For narrow band radar, it is well understood that signal bandwidth and random noise are essential for range resolution and accuracy. The things are more complicated for UWB radar since jitter, antenna behavior, and even the target itself will have influence. This article analyses some aspects distinguishing the UWB radar from the narrowband one with respect to resolution features.
