Abstract- Ultra-wide band radar (UWB) holds great promise for a variety of medical applications. This seminar presents demonstration of the feasibility of using ultra-wide band sensors for detection of internal injuries, monitoring of respiratory and cardiac functions, and continuous non-contact imaging of the human body. Sensors are low-power, portable, and do not require physical contact with the patient. They are ideal for use by emergency res ponders to make rapid diagnosis and triage decisions. In the hospital, vital signs monitoring and imaging application could improve patient outcomes. In this seminar an overview of ultra-wide band radar technology is discussed as well as the key design trade offs. Examples are given on ongoing research in applying ultra-wide band technology to the medical field.
