(author)Ultrawideband (UWB) technology is an attractive alternative for short-range applications, e.g., wireless personal area networks. In these applications, transmit and receive antennas are very close to each other and the far-field condition assumed in most of the link budget models may not be satisfied. Under near-field conditions, variations in...journal article 2008

(author)For impulse radio ultrawideband communications an “antenna plus generator” system is co-designed and an on chip generator is integrated into the antenna. This approach does away with the need for intermediate transmission lines conventionally placed between an RF device/generator and an antenna and therefore eliminates the need for a balun,...journal article
