Abstract

A model for calculating the reflection and transmission of electromagnetic (EM) waves through multi-layered structures has been realized and experimentally verified. This model can be used in ultra-wideband (UWB) systems to determine the composition of a multi-layered structure. Both models (S₁₁ and S₂₁) are implemented using matlab and verified for common multi-layered structures with both commercially available CST design studio simulations and measurement results. The outputs of these models are further used to determine the minimum DR (dynamic range) of the receiver, needed to find the composition of the proposed structures.
