Abstract

A novel planar differential ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna was designed and implemented on low-cost FR4 substrate and characterized experimentally. The antenna was used in the implementation of a complete UWB pulse radar sensor obtained by co-integrating a system-on-a-chip UWB pulse radar packaged in QFN32 package with two antennas, one for the transmitter and one for the receiver. The experimental results confirm the predictions obtained by simulations, and the effectiveness of the novel antenna design for the implementation of low-cost short-range pulse radar sensor was validated by field operational tests.
