Ultra-Wideband Pulse Radar Mounted on an Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for the Monitoring of Moving Objects

This article describes a classic ground-penetrating radar, which includes a transmitter on two step-recovery diodes for the shock excitation of an ultra-wideband Vivaldi antenna, a discrete sampling receiver with data transmission via Ethernet mounted on a six-blade unmanned aerial vehicle, experiments and processing results of the obtained signals for detecting the movement of small objects both in open space and behind a wall, as well as calculations to determine the thickness of the sounded walls in the case of a single measurement scenario.
