Introduction<br />
1.1 Motivation<br />
A man was interested in knowing of unknown from the very beginning of the human<br />
history. Our human eyes help us to investigate our environment by reflection of<br />
light. However, wavelengths of visible light allows transparent view through only<br />
a very small kinds of materials. On the other hand, Ultra WideBand (<strong>UWB</strong>)<br />
electromagnetic waves with frequencies of few Gigahertz are able to penetrate<br />
through almost all types of materials around us. <strong>With</strong> some sophisticated methods<br />
and a piece of luck we are able to investigate what is behind opaque walls. Rescue<br />
and security of the people is one of the most promising fields for such applications.<br />
Rescue: Imagine how useful can be information about interior of the barricaded<br />
