 The ability of electromagnetic waves to penetrate various building materia
 ls\, combined with advances in the design of ultra-wideband compact radar 
 modules\, has elevated the importance of see-through-wall technology\, als
 o known as through-the-wall radar imaging (TWRI)\, across a wide range of 
 civilian and defense applications. In this lecture\, an overview of variou
 s TWRI technologies\, including the latest research in several areas impor
 tant in the design of TWRI systems\, will be presented. Electromagnetic-ba
 sed techniques for wall parameter estimation to mitigate the adverse wall 
 effects and enhance the efficient imaging and classification of targets wi
 thin and/or behind walls will be discussed. For efficient imaging\, detail
 s of fast polarimetric and tomographic based imaging algorithms for both 2
 D and 3D scenarios will be given\, and imaging results for various realist
 ic scenarios using both numerical simulations and laboratory measurements 
 will be presented\, Development of wideband and ultrawideband antenna arra
 ys\, which are essential in successful implementation of see-thru-wall tec
 hnology\, together with hardware descriptions of two constructed portable 
 systems will conclude the presentation.\n\nSpeaker(s): Dr. Ahmad Hoorfar\,
