Application of ultra-fast comparator for UWB pulse time of arrival measurement

Abstract

The paper contains the proposal of an ultra wideband pulse detector intended for application in positioning system receiver. The detector design is based on an ultra-fast comparator. The paper contains results of comparator measurements. The parameters essential to the UWB pulse of arrival measurement are presented and discussed. In the second part of the paper description of the developed detector and evaluation of its parameters are included.
