This book outlines the latest advances in the theory, design, and implementation of ultrawideband (UWB) radar technology, which shows promise for use in diverse applications ranging from toilet flushing sensors and cancer detection equipment to radar sensors that could be used in homes, public places, cars, hospitals, and aircraft. Detailing their potential for use in medicine, security, and other key areas, the book covers topics including the technology's history and government regulation internationally. It also discusses propagation theory and examples of precision ranging as applied to material penetration, imaging, and additional medical applications
