Hardware Acceleration of Beamforming in a UWB Imaging Unit for Breast Cancer Detection

<table>Experimental setup for the FPGA prototype: the personal computer executes in software (Octave) part of the algorithm and allows energy maps visualization. A USB link transfers data to and from the FPGA board where part of the beamforming algorithm is accelerated.</table>
