Abstract

This chapter covers the theory and analysis of UWB systems, particularly the system operating principle, power budget and range resolution. Various UWB pulse signals commonly used for UWB systems, including Gaussian-like impulse, doublet pulse, and monocycle pulse, are addressed. Detailed calculations for the minimum requited transmitting power and minimum required pulse duration for a specific range resolution are also presented using a typical multi-layer pavement structure.
