The two-wire transmission line used in conventional circuits is
inefficient for transferring electromagnetic energy at microwave
frequencies
Structure guide electromagnetic waves at microwave frequencies
a- operating frequencies- 0.7λ
b- power handling capacity- 0.2 -0.5 λ

8. UWB system
Ultra Wideband – High Bandwidth, FCC - 2002
IEEE 802.15.3a
Foremost communication systems are based on
sinusoidal waves
UWB systems are based on exchanging data using short
duration pulses of sub nanoseconds which covers a very
wide bandwidth in the frequency domain - hence the name
Ultra WideBand
10. UWB system features
Unlicensed spectrum
Ultra short pulses – High data rate
Base band transmission – Simple transceiver
design
Low duty cycle – High energy efficiency
Low probability of detect/intercept –extremely low
pulse width
Immunity to multipath fading

11. UWB Antenna
11
Capable of receiving all frequencies at the same time
Electrical size must be small with high efficiency
Pulse distortion must be kept to a minimum
Constant radiation pattern through out the band of
operation
