Characterization of UWB Transmit-Receive Antenna System

چکیده
An ultra-wide-band (UWB), stripline-fed Vivaldi antenna is characterized both numerically and experimentally. Three-dimensional far-field measurements are conducted and accurate antenna gain and efficiency as well as gain variation versus frequency in the boresight direction are measured. Using two Vivaldi antennas, a free-space communication link is set up. The impulse response of the cascaded antenna system is obtained using full-wave numerical electromagnetic time-domain simulations. These results are compared with frequency-domain measurements using a network analyzer. Full-wave numerical simulation of the free-space channel is performed using a two step process to circumvent the computationally intense simulation problem. Vector transfer function concept is used to obtain the overall system transfer function and the impulse response.

Antenna and Pulse Designs for Meeting UWB Spectrum Density Requirements
Antenna design in ultra-wideband (UWB) systems is a major challenge. For, in contrast to conventional systems, wherein waveform distortion by the antenna is negligible, there is potentially significant waveform distortion by UWB antennas. A further challenge to UWB system design is posed by mandated limits on power spectrum density, such as the FCC emission mask. In this paper, we join these tw...

In this paper, we extend ultra-wideband (UWB) single input single output (SISO) systems with a hybrid pulse amplitude and position modulation (PAPM) to single input multiple output (SIMO) systems using receive antenna diversity. The performance of a rake receive diversity combining scheme for UWB SIMO systems with a PAPM is examined in a log-normal multipath fading channel and also compared wit...

An ultra-wideband (UWB) self-complementary planar bow-tie antenna (SCPBTA) is proposed. The antenna consists of a printed conical horn-shaped (CHS) radiator and a counterpart CHS slot etched on a rectangular ground plane. The printed CHS radiator is connected directly to the 50Ω microstrip line by bending the end portion of the feed line. As a result, the antenna has a simple structure which do...
