In this paper, we have proposed a Ultra-Wideband slot notch antenna by using a semi-circular extension. The proposed antenna cover the entire UWB band(3.1${\~}$10.6 GHz) and notch out the IEEE 802.1la frequency band(5.15${\~}$5.825 GHz) by inserting a $\lambda$/4 length slot into the patch. A prototype antenna was fabricated on FR-4( ${\epsilon}_r$ =4.4, substrate thickness=0.8 mm) and measured for VSWR characteristics. The measured notched frequency variations versus frequency for different slot length. The path loss and group delay were measured. The proposed antenna also show a good gain flatness(1.9 dBi) except the IEEE 802.1la frequency band.

In this paper, inverted triangle structural planar monopole antenna with Edge for UWB Communication (3.1 ~ 10.6 GHz) is presented. The antenna have broadband property structurally through inverted triangle structural planar monopole which have edge. Monopole and ground of proposed antenna exist on coplanar plane, and excite as CPW. It used FR4 dielectric substrate of ${\epsilon}_r=4.4$, and the size is $20{\times}20{\times}1.6mm$. Return loss is more than - 10dB in 3.1 ~ 10.1 GHz (7.0 GHz). Radiation pattern is about the same that of dipole antenna at all frequency. At measured result, max gain is 8.44 dBi at E - plane.

This paper presents a low profile multi circular ring with different radius, patch antenna with modified feed line and slotted ground. The size of the antenna is $15{\times}12mm^2$, having electrical dimensions of $0.14{\lambda}{\times}0.12{\lambda}$ (at lower initial frequency) and footprints of $180mm^2$. The proposed antenna covers 3.1 to 12.3 GHz, reflection coefficient up to -38 dB with Bandwidth ratio of 4.13:1 and fractional Bandwidth of 122%. Bandwidth dimension ratio has been calculated (which is 6246) as a proof for compact size. Thin slots introduced on the feed line provide good impedance matching for whole frequency band. Numerical simulations of the proposed antenna are reported in terms of reflection coefficient ${\leq}-10dB$, vswr 2:1, radiation pattern and group delay (ns). The proposed antenna has advantage of very small size along with better impedance match that provides a practical approach to realize it for BW enhancement and UWB applications.

A novel ultra wideband microstrip-fed circular patch antenna having band stop characteristic in UNII band is presented. The band stop characteristic is realized by inverted-U shaped slot. The range of stop bandwidth can be adjusted by changing the length of the slot. The measured impedance bandwidth of the proposed antenna is from 2.9 GHz to 12.1 GHz with the stop band from 4.9 GHz to 6 GHz for VSWR<2. This antenna shows a monopole-like radiation pattern and flat gain characteristic throughout the operating frequency band.

The proposed print antenna using Finite Difference Time Domain(FDTD) method is analyzed in this paper. A low radiation resistance and an ultra-wide band of this antenna are also presented. The propagation process of the reflected wave and the electric field distribution in the time domain are calculated in respectively. The antenna parameters are optimized for the maximum band width, return loss, input impedance, and radiation pattern in the frequency domain using Fourier transforming. The experimental bandwidth of the antenna is 1.85GHz~6.35GHz for the VSWR less than or equal to 2.0. The measured results are relatively in good agreement with the FDTD results. The proposed antenna can be applied to various applications such as UWB, broadcasting-network system.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive multi-target estimation algorithm using the characteristics of signals in the IR-UWB(Impulse-Radio Ultra Wideband) radar system, which is attracting attention because it has good transparency, robustness to the indoor environment, and high precision positioning of tens of centimeters. We proposed an algorithm that estimates multiple peaks with the characteristic that the signal reflected by the target has a peak. To verify the performance of these algorithms, multiple targets were placed in front of the radar and the existing technique and the multi - target estimation algorithm were compared. The location of the targets is estimated in real time with one transmitting antenna and one receiving antenna. The number of estimates can be increased compared with the existing peak signal derivation method, and multiple targets can be derived. The conventional technique estimates only one target, which results in a mean square error of 1 while a multi - target estimation algorithm yields a result of about 0.05. The proposed method is expected to be able to apply multiple targets to the estimation and application in one IR-UWB module environment.

This paper presents the spatial multiplexing MIMO system to increase data rate to double in MB-OFDM UWB system, which is ECMA standards, and compares BER performance of various receiver structures. The complexity and BER performance of various types of spatial multiplexing receivers are compared and analyzed using diagonal and horizontal encoding techniques for $2{\times}2$\;and\;2{\times}3$ antennas systems. Computer simulations exhibit that $2{\times}2$ MML and $2{\times}3$ ZF method show better BER performance than that of SISO system with simple complexity.

In this paper, a novel compact and frequency band-notch antenna for Ultra-Wideband(UWB) applications is proposed. The designed antenna not only shows good impedance bandwidth for ultra-wideband but has band notch characteristic for the frequency band of $5.15\~5.825\;GHz$ limited by IEEE 802.1la and HIPERLAN/2. To achieve both properties of wide band and band notch, the techniques of a concaved ground plane and inserted U-shaped thin slot into planar radiator are used respectively. A manufactured antenna satisfied VSWR<2 for the frequency band of $2.95\~11.7\GHz$ except the limited band of $4.92\~5.866\;GHz$.
