Abstract

The characterization of the UWB channel own behaviour 'without antennas' requires a huge measurement and processing work, which should be greatly and efficiently reduced with the help of low angular distortion antennas. Obviously, usual specifications for UWB channel measurements like particularly good matching, omni-directionality and a large frequency-independent horizontal main lobe have to be respected Two UWB Bicone antennas designed with respect to these specifications and operating over two different bands have been designed and tested. Characterization tools in the Time Domain (TD) were used to analyze the distortion introduced by these antennas, and both antennas were found to be slightly distorting while comparing the radiated waveform to the excitation one, on one hand, and, more interestingly while comparing the radiated waveforms at different directions on the other hand.
