In this paper, we present the feasibility of applying UWB radar signal to material characterization and distance measurement. Distance detection by using dynamic energy visualization method was presented and showed good agreement. This technique might be useful for searching and rescuing humans in disaster sites.

This paper summarizes the advantages of using Msequence as a stimulus for UWB radar and describes its architecture. In next the appropriate applications for this type of radar system are shown.

A novel monopole-type antenna, which covers the bandwidth 3.1 10.6 GHz is presented. The shorted and folded planar monopole antenna is constructed by folding a thin copper sheet in such a way that one edge of the radiating element is connected to the ground plane. Simulated and measured results show suitable characteristics for communications systems using ultrawide-band (UWB) technology. Moreo...

Ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filters play a key role in the development of UWB systems. In this paper, we present a review on their development since the release of UWB band for indoor and hand-held systems by Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in 2002.

In this paper we propose an approach to improve the object location accuracy and enable better attitude estimation for wireless locating systems. This method combines the position data of multiple tags placed on an object. The algorithm is independent of the technology used to measure the tags position or the methods of pre-processing the data. The algorithm has been tested experimentally with ...

This paper describes a symmetric ultra lowvoltage (ULV) rail-to-rail CMOS amplifiers using floating gates. Simulation of a compact differential ULV amplifier is presented.
