Book description
Ranging from the theoretical basis of UWB sensors via implementation
issues to applications, this much-needed book bridges the gap between
designers and appliers working in civil engineering, biotechnology,
medical engineering, robotic, mechanical engineering, safety and
homeland security.
From the contents:
* History
* Signal and systems in time and frequency domain
* Propagation of electromagnetic waves (in frequency and time domain)
* UWB-Principles
* UWB-antennas and applicators
* Data processing
* Applications
Jurgen Sachs earned a Doctorate (Dr.-Ing.) in Electrical Engineering
(surface acoustic wave devices) and a Dipl.-Ing. degree in Electrical
Engineering (semi-conductor technology and components). Since 1985, he
is Senior Lecturer at TU Ilmenau, Germany. He teaches
"Basics of Electrical Measurement Technology", "Methods
of measurement for the information and communication technique",
and "Eatellite navigation and radar". He is head of several
research projects, and inter alia coordinator of European projects for
humanitarian demining. His research areas cover RF-signal analysis and
RF-system identification; Surface Penetrating Radar, Impulse Radiating
Antennas; Ultra wideband (UWB) methods and their application in high
resolution radar and impedance spectroscopy, digital processing of
UWB-signals; UWB-Array-processing; and humanitarian anti-personal mine detection.
