Design of a pulse generator for UWB communications

The Ultra Wide Band (UWB) is a technical of radio transmission which consists of using signals whose spectrum is spread out over a broad frequency band, typically ranging from MHz to several GHz frequencies. It was at first used for radar applications then applied in telecommunication applications, thus arousing a growing interest within the academic and industrial community. The present work is concerned with a research on UWB as a new technology for radar systems. Besides, it sheds light on the design of transmission system with broad ultra band an Agilent Advanced Design System modeling tool.
