Distortion analysis of indoor and outdoor limit with biconical antenna for ultra wideband system

Abstract

The distortion of ultra wideband impulse radio (UWBIR) system that distorted by a channel due to antenna dispersion. This highly degrades of link budget performance. Therefore, to know the antenna characteristics, the effects of a waveform distortion, are necessary. The UWB transmission waveform is investigated by using extended Friis transmission formula based on UWB measurement data. This paper evaluates the performance system on transmission waveform distortion for UWB communication. The received signal and isotropic signal templates are considered with Friis formula. Mostly of radio wave propagation in link budget analytic performance is evaluated by using the Friis equation. Due to Friis equation is cannot directly apply for the UWB transmission waveform. For experimental evaluation scheme, using the broadband antenna for transmitter and receiver antennas (Tx and Rx). The full band 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz, which contributed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), is proposed as the UWB signal waveform. The transfer functions measured as experimental result by using the vector network analyzer for measuring and recording. This paper UWB transmission gains with the received signal and isotropic signal templates are shown and compared.
