Abstract :
The author considers the detection, collection, and analysis of impulse-like time domain signals which meet the ultrawideband (UWB) definition. First, UWB impulse signal technical terminology and foreign work are reviewed. The fundamental collection differences between narrowband (sinusoid) and UWB (impulse-like) signals are discussed, and a comparison of the minimum detectable signal for the narrowband and UWB transient signals is presented. The feasibility of using currently deployed wideband receivers for UWB impulse detection and rough parametrization for SIGINT is also examined
