Abstract

In this work, an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) radar system is proposed in an attempt to take a medical image of each hu-man body layer. In fact, this system consists of sending an electromagnetic pulse and analyzing the echo reflected by the human body tissue. In order to realize this system, the parameters which enable us to optimize the functionality of our radar are computed. Indeed, we fixed a frequency range, incident angle, pulse repetition frequency, the power and the antenna deployed by the UWB radar system in medicine. As well as, a human body model is presented in order to have practical results..

Summary

Introduction

There have been growing interests in recent years’ research the Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technology and radar system. The UWB radar system is to be used in a medical application. It is possible to employ this system to take a medical image of the human body. This image enables doctors to diagnose the human body in an attempt to detect anomalies like cancer. To meet such an aim, the system UWB radar block diagram is suggested and used in a medical image in the first section. The antenna position needed to capture each echo reflected by the human body structure is computed.
