2. Abstract
Presenting design, simulation and experimental testing of a low pass (LP)
filter for Ultra Wide-Band (UWB) radar applications. This focuses on
various technological possibilities of production that are used in the branch
of UWB filters. Simulated and measured results of insertion loss and return
loss response of LP filter for UWB radar are presented. Also focused on the
design of passive filters used in UWB radar systems with emphasis on issues
of quality of transmitted signals in the HF range.

Conclusion
The filter has been designed, simulated using QUCS software. The cut-off
frequency observed is 1.91 GHz. The insertion loss is – 0.501 dB. Also LP
filter are acceptable for use in the UWB applications.
