摘要: An antenna array comprising a ground plane and a plurality of elements mounted thereon, said elements being capable of emitting and receiving ultra wideband emissions. Elements are arrayed on the ground plane in two parallel rows, a transmitting row, and a receiving row, such that a given element in the receiving row is aligned in at least one direction with a corresponding element in the transmitting row. Additionally, the elements are configured on the ground plane to elicit a symmetrical product response in the azimuthal plane, and to produce horizontally polarized signals. An alternative embodiment places the elements with unique inter-element spacing within the rows. An embodiment comprises a fence structure between rows. A method for use comprises the step of transmitting a signal via an element in the transmitting row and receiving said signal through an element in the receiving row, not aligned with the transmitting element.

摘要: A method of detecting objects reflecting impulse waveforms of generating a detection envelope by receiving a reflected waveform, delaying said waveform by a peak-to-zero delay (PZD) interval. The PZD interval is the time between a maximum energy displacement in the impulse waveform and an adjacent zero crossing. The reflected waveform and its delayed version are squared and then summed to create the envelope. If the envelope is to be defined in terms of voltage, the root of the sum of the squares may be found. Also a method for generating an image using the PZD interval in back-projection techniques is described wherein a sampling point is chosen on each of a plurality of reflected waveforms. The values of the samples are summed and the waveforms are delayed by the PZD interval and the values of the sampling points are again summed. The two sums are squared and added together to generate an image envelope.
