  Determining subsurface properties through ground penetrating radar sounding can be challenging, especially in planetary exploration, where little is known about the terrain and additional observations are limited. Analysis and interpretation of data acquired with the Radar Imager for Mars’ Subsurface Experiment (RIMFAX) could therefore be improved by in-detail comparison with forward modeling. RIMFAX transmits a frequency modulated continuous waveform and utilizes a stretch processing receiver, and we demonstrate how accurate modeling can be achieved through finite-difference time-domain simulations. As the simulation scheme do not allow for direct implementation of such radar system, this study presents the necessary steps in order to replicate the same transmitter and receiver characteristics. In particular, we investigate how the method holds for modeling sounding in a realistic subsurface medium with attenuating and dispersive properties, by comparing the results with analytical estimates. The modeling approach is also assessed through comparison with RIMFAX field test measurements.

  Ultra wideband (UWB) radio technology for wireless implants has gained significant attention. UWB enables the fabrication of faster and smaller transceivers with ultra low power consumption, which may be integrated into more sophisticated implantable biomedical sensors and actuators. Nevertheless, the large path loss suffered by UWB signals propagating through inhomogeneous layers of biological tissues is a major hindering factor. For the optimal design of implantable transceivers, the accurate characterization of the UWB radio propagation in living biological tissues is indispensable. Channel measurements in phantoms and numerical simulations with digital anatomical models provide good initial insight into the expected path loss in complex propagation media like the human body, but they often fail to capture the effects of blood circulation, respiration, and temperature gradients of a living subject. Therefore, we performed UWB channel measurements within 1-6 GHz on two living porcine subjects because of the anatomical resemblance with an average human torso. We present for the first time a path loss model derived from these invivo measurements, which includes the frequency-dependent attenuation. The use of multiple on-body receiving antennas to combat the high propagation losses in implant radio channels was also investigated.
