This paper presents a novel design of an egg curve based wide-slot antenna for various wideband applications. The proposed printed antenna consists of an egg curved slot with a similar tuning stub. The egg curve is obtained by introducing an egg shaping parameter into standard elliptic curve equation. The effect on the impedance bandwidth through the variations in antenna design parameters has ...

In this paper, a novel configuration of circular ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna with band rejection characteristic is presented. In order to obtain this characteristic, the spiral loop resonators resonating at the rejection frequency are located in both sides of the circular radiating patch. This novel structure provides the band-notched characteristic without the degradation of the UWB antenna p...

This paper investigated the feasibility for improved detection of human respiration using data fusion based on a multistatic ultra-wideband (UWB) radar. UWB-radar-based respiration detection is an emerging technology that has great promise in practice. It can be applied to remotely sense the presence of a human target for through-wall surveillance, post-earthquake search and rescue, etc. In the...

approved: _____________________________________________________ Huaping Liu Ultra-wideband (UWB) radio is the transmission of data using an extremely wide bandwidth and very low power spectral density. In this thesis, the merits and challenges of UWB architectures versus conventional narrowband architectures will be compared. Pulsed UWB systems can be implemented with very simple architectures....

This paper presents experimental investigations on high precision localization methods of body-worn miniature antennas using ultra-wideband technology in line-of-sight conditions. Time of Arrival data fusion and peak detection techniques are implemented to estimate the three-dimensional location of the transmitting tags in terms of x, y, z Cartesian coordinates. Several pseudo-dynamic experimen...

A type of telecommunication technology called an ultra-wideband (UWB) is used to provide a typical solution for short-range wireless communication due large bandwidth and low power consumption in transmission reception. Printed monopole antennas are considered as preferred platform implementing this because its alluring characteristics such light weight, cost, ease fabrication, integration capa...

The recent surge in the demand for low power portable wireless electronics that can offer extremely high data rates has resulted in much active research in Ultra-Wideband (UWB) systems. UWB is widely recognized as a promising technology for high data rate, short-range applications with precise time resolution and high energy efficiency. All these benefits originate from the wideband characteris...

In February of 2002, the FCC approved the use of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology for commercial use. UWB has since been considered as a solution for the next generation of personal area networks (PANs) and wireless local area networks (WLANs). UWB (or impulse) radio employs short duration pulses to communicate, thereby spreading signal energy very “thinly” from DC to a few gigahertz [1]. The “u...

A multiple input multiple output ultra-wideband cognitive radar based on compressive sensing is presented in this letter. For traditional UWB radar, high sampling rate analog to digital converter at the receiver is required to meet Shannon theorem, which increases hardware complexity. In order to bypass the bottleneck of ADC or further increase the radar bandwidth using the latest wideband ADC,...

— In this paper, the ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter (BPF) with a wide stopband is presented. The prototype of proposed UWB BPF is by bending the five short-circuited stubs and coupling the I/O feed lines. In order to have a wide stopband, an bandstop structure embedded in input/output (I/O) lines without degrading the passband performances is used. The measured results verified that by us...
