Abstract

UWB polarization measurements in three indoor multipath channels were studied for a transmitted UWB impulse signal. A polarization estimation process with low calculation complexity was tested on multipath signal waveforms. The waveforms were measured for three orthogonal receiving antenna orientations which reflect polarization sensitivity. With the polarization estimate, a received signal energy bound with respect to the receiving antenna orientation was provided in closed form
