DESCRIPTION:The ability of electromagnetic waves to penetrate through vario
 us building materials\, together with advances in design of ultra-wideband
  compact radar modules\, has made see-thru-wall technology\, also known as
  Through-the-wall radar imaging (TWRI)\, of increasing importance in a wid
 e range of both civilian and defense applications. In this lecture\, an ov
 erview of various TWRI technologies\, including the latest research in sev
 eral areas important in the design of TWRI systems\, will be presented. El
 ectromagnetic-based techniques for wall parameter estimation to mitigate t
 he adverse wall effects and enhance the efficient imaging and classificati
 on of targets within and/or behind walls will be discussed. For efficient 
 imaging\, details of fast polarimetric and tomographic based imaging algor
 ithms for both 2D and 3D scenarios will be given\, and imaging results for
  various realistic scenarios using both numerical simulations and laborato
 ry measurements will be presented\, Development of wideband and\nultrawide
 band antenna arrays\, which are essential in successful implementation of 
 see-thru-wall technology\, together with hardware descriptions of two cons
 tructed portable systems will conclude the presentation. Throughout\, I wi
 ll include a personal perspective from my own two-decade journey in this i
 nterdisciplinary research area.\n\nCo-sponsored by: University of Washingt
