Abstract :
The pulse preserving capabilities of an ultra wideband (UWB) dielectric resonator antenna (DRA) with full ground plane are investigated. The computed correlation factors in different directions for a fifth-order Gaussian pulse show that the antenna possess excellent transient characteristics in x-y and x-z planes. The results indicate that the (UWB) DRA is suitable for pulse-based impulse radio (IR)-UWB communication systems.
