Abstract :
The short path propagation of an UWB pulse generated numerically from a wideband conical monopole antenna through reinforced concrete wall of buildings has been studied in the time-domain using the finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method. Results demonstrated the effects of both filtering of transmitting antenna and scattering of the reinforced concrete wall on pulse signal waveform.
