UWB/SP radiolocation is a relatively new, but expanding field of science and technology. Mostly UWB/SP radars are used for ground subsurface sounding. At present, this is the most promising application area for UWB/SP System.

The key problem restricting radar capabilities of UWB/SP systems is lack of ultra wide band antenna systems, which are able to radiate and receive short pulse electromagnetic waves with high efficiency and without shape distortions. In addition, it will be necessary to develop corresponding algorithms, software for radar data processing and sounding results visualization to obtain a complete solution.

This investigation is intended to develop and perfect the key devices for the UWB/SP System.
