UWB Multipath Simulator based on TEM Horn Antenna

Abstract

Most of the existing UWB models are extensions of narrowband models. These models suffer from limitations because UWB multipath propagation is frequency and antenna dependent. In this paper, a directional simulator based on TEM horn antenna is developed. This simulator illustrates the spatial impact on the received multipath profiles. Several deterministic scenarios are simulated to examine the antenna impact on receiver design and positioning accuracy.
