Abstract :
Summary form only given. Ultra Wide Band (UWB) antenna arrays offer the possibility to generate a wide band signal in a sharp direction, which can drastically improve the detection sensitivity. With a configuration including as many antennas as generators, an UWB array presents the advantage of increasing the radiation power on one hand and offering the agility to the array on the other hand. Indeed, the application of time delays between the feeding pulses of the antennas permits to steer the radiated fields in each wanted direction and to realize a coherent sum of each initial power.
