Abstract
Application of ultra-high frequency (microwave) electromagnetic radiation for detection of explosive objects is based on the possibility to determine two parameters: a) shape and size of the object, and sometimes b) its dielectric constant. This can be achieved by using two kinds of systems: either pulsed radars or continuous-wave radars.
