Ultra-Wideband, Short-Pulse Electromagnetics 10 2014 edition

Jacket Description/Back: This book presents contributions of deep technical content and high scientific quality in the areas of electromagnetic theory, scattering, UWB antennas, UWB systems, ground penetrating radar (GPR), UWB communications, pulsed-power generation, time-domain computational electromagnetics, UWB compatibility, target detection and discrimination, propagation through dispersive media, and wavelet and multi-resolution techniques. Ultra-wideband (UWB), short-pulse (SP) electromagnetics are now being used for an increasingly wide variety of applications, including collision avoidance radar, concealed object detection, and communications. Notable progress in UWB and SP technologies has been achieved by investigations of their theoretical bases and improvements in solid-state manufacturing, computers, and digitizers. UWB radar systems are also being used for mine clearing, oil pipeline inspections, archeology, geology, and electronic effects testing. Like previous books in this series, "Ultra-Wideband Short-Pulse Electromagnetics 10" serves as an essential reference for scientists and engineers working in these applications areas. Presents the state-of-the-art of ultra-wideband electromagnetics, signals, and systems Covers theory, technology, and cutting-edge applications Features selected, peer-reviewed contributions from the UWB-SP11 Conference in Toulouse, FranceTable of Contents: PrefaceCarl Baum, a great man and eminent scientistSeveral Years of Interaction with Carl E.
