  • Abstract
    This paper illustrates the complexity of issues that arise in the accurate measurement and interpretation of ultra wideband (UWB) interference effects in narrowband receivers. The behavior of an amateur radio receiver in the presence of sinusoidal and UWB interference is studied. We characterize antenna response and receiver nonlinearities, which lead to an understanding of UWB effects on the receiver output during outdoor response measurements as a function of range and antenna orientation.
