Directional versus Omni Directional Antennas for UWB Imaging
نویسنده
چکیده
Biomedical applications necessitate some restrictions on the type of devices to be used. When Ultra-Wide Band signals are used, the antenna is better to be directional and small in size. This paper presents a modified directional patch antenna design and fabrication which was used in real breast cancer detection experiments using breast phantom. It shows optimistic results.

TDOA assisted RSSD based localization using UWB and directional antennas
This paper studies the use of directional antennas for received signal strength difference (RSSD) based localization using ultra-wideband and demonstrates the achievable accuracy with this localization method applied to UWB. As introduced in our previous work the RSSD localization is assisted with one Time Difference of Arrival (TDOA) estimation. The use of directional receiving antennas and an...
متن کاملA Deformed-Film UWB Antenna
Recently, microwave ultra-wideband (UWB) technology has attracted much attention in high speed wireless communications, imaging and radar applications. Antennas with very wide impedance bandwidth and stable radiations are required for such systems. Among many UWB antennas, planar types are low profile, light weight, low cost and suitable for mobile devices [1]. However, the planar antennas may ...
متن کاملA MAC protocol for low-rate UWB wireless sensor networks using directional antennas
Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a key solution for wireless connectivity, characterized by ultralow power consumption and a good degree of robustness to interference and multipath fading. Evidence of its significance, is its recent use in the IEEE 802.15.4a standard. UWB technology with joint consideration of directional antennas can benefit when compared to classical omni-directional antennas from the...
متن کاملULTRA WIDEBAND SYSTEMS TECHNOLOGIES AND APPLICATIONS SPECIAL SECTION Angular-spectral antenna effects in ultra wideband communications links
In traditional approaches to antenna characterisation, spectral and angular dispersion are modelled separately. In the paper, the dependence of the power radiated from ultra wideband (UWB) antennas jointly on frequency and direction is established experimentally. It is demonstrated that both omni-directional and directional antennas typically exhibit higher directivity with frequency, with the ...

UWB (Ultra Wide-Band) pulse radar is a promising candidate for surveillance systems designed to prevent crimes and terror-related activities. The high-speed SEABED (Shape Estimation Algorithm based on BST and Extraction of Directly scattered waves) imaging algorithm, is used in the application of UWB pulse radar in fields that require realtime operations. The SEABED algorithm assumes that omni-...
