在过去的三十年里，超宽带雷达被设计用于军事和民用，例如用于探测杀伤人员地雷和反车辆地雷并对其成像的探地雷达，用于对敌方部队进行座舱盖探测，识别战斗人员和建筑物中的武器，以及用于海基雷达减轻海上散射引起的目标状结构。此外，许多非军用UWB雷达已被设计和部署用于林业，探测地下设施，汽车控制，搜索和救援行动和人道主义排雷。自2004年以来，UWB雷达的发展已经下降到一个平台，大部分工作集中在医疗成像，汽车控制，通过恐怖分子的结构感测，以及搜索和救援行动。与此相反，UWB通信系统已经在电信革命的浪潮中走到了前列。使用UWB雷达的主要原因是其超高分辨率（较高频率）和穿透介质以检测屏蔽物体（较低频率）的竞争性成像物体能力。例如，UWB雷达的设计是分辨率和穿透深度之间的折衷。因此，雷达的通带选择取决于应用，即，关于感兴趣对象的尺寸。虽然超宽带雷达的距离分辨率和更深的穿透力是理想的，但超宽带雷达存在技术和电磁兼容性（EMC）问题。UWB通信的吸引力在于语音和数据传输
Over the last three decades, ultrawideband (UWB) radars have been designed for military and civilian applications, such as ground-penetrating radar for detecting and imaging antipersonnel and antivehicular mines, sensing through canopies for opposing forces, identifying combatants and weapons in structures, and mitigating targetlike structures induced by sea scatter for sea-based radars. In addition, numerous nonmilitary UWB radars have been designed and fielded for forestry, detecting underground utilities, automotive control, search-and-rescue operations, and humanitarian demining. Since 2004, UWB radar development has declined somewhat to a plateau, with most efforts concentrating on medical imaging, automotive control, sensing through structures for terrorists, and search and rescue operations. In contrast, UWB communication systems have come to the forefront on the wave of the telecommunication revolution. The main reasons for using UWB radar are its competing capabilities of imaging objects due to its ultra-high resolution (higher frequencies) and penetrating media to detect shielded objects (lower frequencies). For example, a design of UWB radar is a tradeoff between resolution and penetration depth. Thus, the passband selection of the radar depends on the application, i.e., on the dimensions of the objects of interest. Although ultrahigh range resolution and deeper penetration are desirable, UWB radar has technological and electromagnetic-compatibility (EMC) issues. The appeal of UWB communication is that voice and data transmissions
