The peak amplitude of impulse and RMS value of noise are considered as detection parameters in the proposed method. The receiver based on this method, unlike conventional energy detection (ED) based receivers, does not collect the energy and uses UWB pulses as time triggers. Furthermore, we propose the digital signal processing technique to simplify UWB networking and enhance detection. Proposed solution simplifies the threshold setting and allows to decrease bit-error-rate (BER) for additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel.","PeriodicalId":423697,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Ultrawideband and Ultrashort Impulse Signals (UWBUSIS)","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122571863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A current meter based on the principle of electromagnetic induction is designed to register the current flowing in the lightning rod. The aim of the article is to describe the way of increasing the sensitivity. Methodology. The meter is used for measuring the current pulses with a rise time of 5 ns to 50 ns. If compared with other methods, meters based on the principle of electromagnetic induction have several advantages, such as simplicity of construction, reliability, low cost, no need in a power source, high sensitivity and absence of electrical contact. Also the meter responds to a narrow bandwidth and noise cannot penetrate into the electrical circuit, which is connected to the meter. Originality. Series connection of converters has the property of a long line when influenced by the pulses of the nanosecond range. The level of the transient response of the meter is calculated. The influence of parasitic parameters on the type of meter transient response is examined. The shown construction was not previously described. Practical value. The results of meter implementation are given. The design peculiarities of such measuring instruments are shown. Applying such a structure is only possible when measuring the nanosecond signals or less. Otherwise the property of a long line disappears.","PeriodicalId":423697,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Ultrawideband and Ultrashort Impulse Signals (UWBUSIS)","volume":"2 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131201614","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Radiothermometry, which is based on the measurement of biological tissues electromagnetic fields, can be one of the methods of detection of such pathologies. The paper presents a model of the temperature distribution in the biological tissue in case of low temperature area. The introduced mathematical model of distribution of heat radiation in a biological environment allows determining conditions of registration of thermal anomalies in the human body. The results of the calculation of the thermal radiation power on the skin surface are presented in the work and principal possibility of determining the temperature and the depth of the temperature anomaly source using multi-frequency microwave radiometry are shown. Technical problem of realization of this method is complication of matching the receiving antenna to the biological object for the simultaneous detection of radiation at different frequencies.","PeriodicalId":423697,"journal":{"name":"2016 8th International Conference on Ultrawideband and Ultrashort Impulse Signals (UWBUSIS)","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130570180","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
