Uniplanar ultra-wideband pulse generators

This paper presents uniplanar ultra-wideband (UWB) pulse generators producing full-band as well as dual-band UWB pulses. New uniplanar UWB bandpass filters have been designed by using coplanar waveguide and the filters are cascaded with the Gaussian pulse generator to reshape the pulses as defined by the US Federal Communication Commission (FCC). Experimental results show that the generated pulses satisfy the FCC mask.
