LC Ladder Based Orthonormal Filter for Impulse-Radio UWB Pulse Generation.

In this thesis, a UWB pulse generator is designed to be implemented in IBM 0.13 um technology. The pulse generator has a high spectral efficiency. Using amplitude control, any mismatch, process variation or temperature variation can be compensated for to comply with the UWB FCC mask. The pulse has an approximate duration of 2ns. The current...

Planar elliptically shaped dipole antenna for UWB Impulse Radio

The goal of this thesis was to develop design concepts of the UWB antenna with improved characteristics for impulse radio applications. To reach this goal a number of theoretical and experimental investigations were carried out. The major result of the thesis is a number of novel concepts for UWB antennas including: - The shielded elliptically...
