This paper presents an ultra-wideband multibeam antenna with eight radiating elements that are connected to the central cylindrical part. Each element consists of a TEM horn fed by coaxial ridged planar waveguide transition. The connection between and part equivalently acts as biconical antenna. behavior is guaranteed wideband properties adapter. Comprehensive optimization performed minimize re...

Ultra wideband (UWB) technology based on the use of very narrow pulses on the order of nanoseconds, covering a very wide bandwidth in the frequency domain, is one of the most promising solutions for future communication systems due to its high-speed data rate and excellent immunity to multipath interference. In this context, the antenna is one of the important components which determine the per...

Since the first Report and Order by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) authorized the unlicensed use of ultra wideband (UWB) which must meet the emission masks on February 14, 2002 [1], both industry and academia have paid much attention to R&D of commercial UWB systems. Among UWB system design, the UWB antenna is the key component. Recently, a considerable amount of researches have be...

We demonstrate PolyPoint, a high-fidelity RF-based indoor localization system that achieves 28 cm accuracy indoors and tracks a fast-moving quadcopter with only 56 cm average error. PolyPoint uses ultra-wideband signals to achieve high precision RF time-of-flight estimates between nodes. To further improve accuracy, PolyPoint exploits two forms of diversity: frequency diversity, which leverages...

This paper describes the waveform reconstruction method of the electric field emitted by UWB (ultra wideband) device by using the complex antenna factor and observed waveform with an oscilloscope. The waveform radiated by a doubleridged guide horn antenna and an impulse generator was measured by an oscilloscope and was reconstructed by the method. The peak power measurement using a resolution b...

This paper presents a top-hat sleeve monopole antenna for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The proposed antenna comprises a stem, a dielectric coat, and a top hat sleeve. A modal expansion technique used in cylindrical coordinate system is applied to study the impedance and radiation characteristics of the antenna. Influences of varying parameters of the antenna on impedance matching and radi...

ABSTRACT: The printed antenna is one of the best antenna structures, due to its low cost and compact design. In this paper, we present a new approach to improve the radiation effectiveness and the performance of antennas by miniaturization of the size. Indeed, we have studied the performance of ultra wideband antenna which consists of a ring-shaped patch. This study was made for the whole frequ...

In this article, a novel and compact ultra-wideband (UWB) planar antenna is presented. This antenna consists of an annular patch and a 50 microstrip feed line. The 3.5/5.5GHz dual band-notched characteristic gets achieved by etching a C-shaped slot in the patch and complimentary split ring resonator (CSRR) structure in the ground. The measured results show that the proposed antenna can achieve ...
