    This paper presents the evaluation scheme to investigate the pulse distortion, propagation loss due to human body shadowing. The matched filter is employed at the UWB receiver to maximize the SNR. The propagation loss and matched filter gain of the passband rectangular pulse are simulated for comparing with the experiment results. The experimental channels are taken for several T-R separation distances in an indoor environment. The frequency responses of the radio channels are acquired by using a vector network analyzer (VNA) over the frequency bandwidth of 3 GHz to 11 GHz. From the results, the distortion and the propagation loss of the UWB pulse increase as the T-R separation distance increases, especially when the fully shadowing is occurred. © 2005 IEEE.

    In this paper, the distortion of ultra-wideband (UWB) pulse due to the human body shadowing is investigated. The frequency responses of the radio channels are acquired by using a vector network analyzer (VNA) over the frequency bandwidth of 3 GHz to 11 GHz. The experimental channels are taken for several T-R separation distances in the indoor environment. Consequently, the characteristics of the UWB pulse distortion including the effect of transmitter/receiver antennas and human body are examined. The pulse distortion is considered by using the percentage of the correlation coefficient between the transmitted signal and the received signal. As the results, the distortion of UWB pulse increases as the T-R separation distance increases, especially when the fully shadowing is observed. © 2005 IEEE.
