Analysis of ultra‐wide band signal propagation in an indoor environment

Abstract
Ultra‐wide band signal propagation in an urban environment is measured and studied. The basic concept is to develop, transmit and receive an extremely short duration burst of radio frequency energy‐typically a few tens of pico seconds to a few nanoseconds in duration. The resultant waveforms are extremely broadband, so much so that it is often difficult to determine an actual RF center frequency—thus the term “carrier‐free” [1]. In this paper, the indoor propagation of UWB signals inside an office room is studied. A simulation model of this system is compared with the actual test results. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
