Comparison of Pulse and Continuous Wave Propagation Through the Wall

Knowledge of UWB pulse propagation in and through walls is needed for precise structure analysis and radar sensing. In this paper some experimental results (insertion loss, delay) of pulse propagation through the wall are shown. The methodology of time domain measurement is presented as well. Attenuation of the same wall was measured also in frequency domain. Comparison of spectral components wall attenuation measured using time domain techniques and continuous wave measurements is also done. Dependency of signal delay and attenuation on wall-antennas distance is investigated.
