Ultra wide-band transmissions: comparison of the impulse responses of two systems

The present paper first resumes the general architecture of an ultra wide-band transceiver system. Two different system architectures are then studied and compared : the first of these terms an approbated Gaussian pulse; the second utilises a quasisinusoidal pulse. A comparison between the two, in terms of the power spectral density, the ease of signal generation, leads to the conclusion that the latter form offers a more advantageous solution.
