Abstract
An ultra-wide band rf sensing apparatus or module. In an example, the apparatus has at least three antenna arrays configured to sense a back scatter of electromagnetic energy from spatial location of a zero degree location in relation to a mid point of the device through a 360 degrees range where each antenna array is configured to sense a 120 degree range. As shown, each of the three antenna arrays comprises a support member, a plurality of transmitting antenna spatially configured on a first portion of the support member. The support member also has a transmitting integrated circuit coupled to each of the plurality of transmitting antenna and configured to transmit an outgoing UWC signal. Each of the antenna array also has a plurality of receiving antenna spatially configured on second portion of the support member. The support member also has a receiving integrated circuit coupled to each of the plurality of receiving antenna and configured to receive an incoming UWB signal and configured to convert the UWC signal into a base band.
