Patent attributes
An ultra-wideband (UWB) system includes an enclosure, and an ultra-wideband (UWB) transmitter array within the enclosure, the UWB transmitter array having a transmitter component that transmits electromagnetic waves toward a region-of-interest (ROI), the UWB array having a receiver component that receives reflected electromagnetic waves from objects in the ROI and generates object data. The system further includes a radar absorbing material positioned to receive electromagnetic waves transmitted from the transmitter component that are not directed toward the ROI, and a pattern recognition device having a processor configured to process the electromagnetic waves reflected from the ROI and to determine whether an object-of-interest (OOI) pattern is recognized within the object data.
