Abstract
Ultra wideband (UWB) radar and impedance spectroscopy are of great interest for a vast number of applications such as surface penetrating radar, surveillance and emergency radar, medical instrumentation, non-destructive testing in civil engineering and the food industry, industrial sensors and microwave imaging and many others. The fractional bandwidth of the sounding waves for such types of applications should be as close as possible to 200 % resulting in a high spatial resolution and good penetration in materials. An UWB radar is able to detect hidden objects and a high bandwidth not only results in good spatial resolution but also in improved capabilities for object recognition. Concerning the impedance spectroscopy, a large bandwidth covers different relaxation phenomenon of matter so that more information is available for the substance characterisation.
