Abstract

In this paper the effect of antenna miniaturization in a UWB system is presented. Modified small-size printed tapered monopole antennas are designed in different scaling sizes. In order to evaluate the antennas performance and their functionality, the performance of three kinds of UWB systems, correlation detection, energy detection and transmitted reference UWB, is studied in the presence of each antenna in the AWGN channel. The simulation results show that our designed antenna and its miniaturized geometries are suitable for UWB applications.
