Ultrawideband Short-Pulse Radio Systems

This new resource provides a comprehensive treatment of the methods, analysis, and practice of impulse and ultrawideband (UWB) systems. Sources, antennas, propagation, electromagnetic theory, and actual practical systems are explored. This book is filled with novel perspective on impulse and short-pulse wireless engineering along with practical guidance on how to build antennas and radio hardware for high-power impulse signals.

The book explains the scattering of ultrawideband electromagnetic pulses and discusses conducting and dielectric objects. Impulse responses of objects and propagation channels are covered and details are given about models of signals and their spectral characteristics and users of regularization of a Kramers-Kroning type relation for estimating transfer functions. This in-depth volume includes chapters on receiving antennas, transmitting antennas, and antenna arrays. It concludes with details on high-power ultrawideband radiation sources and includes problem sets.
