Abstract :
Effects of PCB with system ground planes on the planar dipoles for UWB applications are studied using an FDTD algorithm. The impedance and transfer characteristics of the antennas are investigated. Furthermore, the waveforms of received pulsed signals in both UWB single-band and multi-band schemes are examined.
