This paper investigates the capability of an electromagnetic obstacle detection system for visually impaired persons, based on the use of a laboratory Ultra Wide Band (UWB) pulsed radar. Despite the fact that UWB pulsed radar is a laboratory system, not specifically designed for the daily mobility of visually impaired users, this work demonstrates the possibility of adopting it for that purpose
