This video is an overview of the UWB radar system that Patrick Feeley and Brad Pulfer are designing at Case Western Reserve University. This Project is being advised by Dr. Frank Merat.

Executive Summary
Conventional optical sensing has been limited to what is visible in the direct line of sight of the sensor. A consequence of this is that limited data can be gathered about a given environment. We will be creating an Ultra-wideband radar detection system that will give us the ability to locate a target object through a solid barrier. There are many applications for a device of these specifications, but the most commonly proposed application is for use in safety related missions such as firefighters being able to detect human presence in a compromised structure or for police to identify hostages in holding. Our radar system will attempt to sense an object through a solid surface within a reasonable standard of error as well as feature a modest range of detection. We will be using a simple antenna system to relay the information but the system is unique in its signal processing. Our device will feature on board signal processing capable of handling the complex signals after they pass through the solid surface. Initially we will be building upon the work of Enrico Statderini that was completed at the Tor Vergata University of Rome. We will seek to use his device as a comparison between similar types of radars and different antennas.
