Abstract :
This paper describes a low-cost architecture for the generation of short pulses for direct sequence ultra wideband (DS-UWB) applications based on the transient response of passive filters. Two prototypes are developed to demonstrate experimentally this approach. The first one for the band 3.1 GHz to 5 GHz and the second one for the band 5 GHz to 10.6 GHz. In both cases, we obtain pulses with spectral densities well adapted to the outdoor FCC specifications.
