Abstract:
A three dimensional imaging system that utilizes an ultra-wideband radar circuit, a focused radar antenna, an erasable programmable read only memory (EPROM) means which includes a translational software program for translating radar signals received from the radar circuit into signals representing three dimensional coordinates, a memory means 13 for storing the translated signals, and a Computer Aided Design (CAD) program means for processing the translated signals into three dimensional images.
