A Brief Exposure to Ultra-wideband Signaling

Ultra-wideband (UWB) techniques are based on the generation of extremely short digital pulses in the sub-nanosecond range (1 to 1000 picoseconds). The technology is vastly different from classical radio transmission. The extremely short pulses are gene...
Baseband pulses are video or carrier-less pulses of very short duration. Their spectral content is concentrated primarily from zero frequency through the microwave region of the spectrum. This tutorial attempts to describe some of the vagaries of these pulses and their use in ground penetration radars and communications. Figure...
