Summary and Conclusion

Abstract

In the last six chapters, this book has covered the theory, analysis, and design of UWB systems. Specifically, the book addresses the analysis, design, integration, and test of a UWB system capable of operation with multiple varying-duration pulses and its constituent components and subsystems including transmitter, receiver and antenna. This UWB system integrates the transmitter, receiver, antennas and signal processing in a single unit and can be used for various sensing applications. Although the UWB transmitter, receiver and antennas developed in this book are used specifically for the UWB system, they can also be used for other UWB time-main applications as well as in other UWB systems. Particularly, their analyses and design techniques would enable engineers to design UWB components and systems for a variety of specifications and applications. Moreover, the developed UWB system can be used for many other UWB applications.
