area by UWB signal. Then the retlected and the scattering feasibility ofthe proposed antenna which could beused for

point, shifting phase compensation to the signal of the
antenna is processed. Finally all the signals are put together
to get the sumofthe impulse response ofimaging points.
The proposed algorithm can guarantee all signals in-phase
stacking in target location and in other pos itions signals
weaken each other due to coherence [7].
