Abstract

This paper presents another application of the ultra wide band radar, where it deals with the characteristics of the biceps and the triceps muscles at different angles of attachment as compared to the normal relaxation cases of these muscles. The responses of these muscles will be detected by using the ultra wide band pulses with very wide frequency band as sensing signals. A certain perturbation in the returned signal will be detected as changing the attachment angle of the arm. These responses can be used as tools to diagnose the muscles, classify the motion and study the activity of the human organs.
