An Overview of Ultra-Wideband Technique Application for Medial Engineering

Localisation and identification performances of a real-time location system based on ultra wide band technology for monitoring and tracking dairy cow behaviour in a semi-open free-stall barn

“…This mode of transmission provides UWB-based systems with a low sensitivity to interference due to the absence of reflection of the wave itself. Furthermore, since UWB technology is characterised by a low radiation emission, real-time location systems based on this technology were used for remote monitoring of human presence in environments particularly sensitive to radiation such as hospitals (Yong et al, 2007).…”

A low-cost UWB pulse generator for medical imaging, through-wall imaging and surveillance systems

“…Suc h "noise-like" feature relies on ultra-short waveforms and does not require IF processing because they can be operated at baseband. This UWB feature has long been appreciated as key advantages for medical engineering [9].…”

Design of a UWB biconical antenna with a lightning protection system for surveillance applications

“…In the last years, remote monitoring and sensing have played an important role in the plans of national defense strategy in order to guard the land borders of a majority of countries. Many research efforts have been undertaken to adopt ultra‐wideband (UWB) wireless communications for land border surveillance applications . An efficient system for this purpose includes capabilities of searching, intercepting, identifying, and locating transmissions or sources of communication to get immediate tactic recognition of a threat or to analyze collected information through an intelligence process …”

“…Current works normally focus their study on the behavior of the biconical antenna towards UWB and omnidirectionality over the H-plane. [1][2][3][4][5] In this sense, this article presents the study, the numerical simulation, and the prototyping of a biconical antenna that includes a lightning protection system able to prevent the structure from damage due to an atmospheric discharge about 45 kA and rise time of 10 μs. 6 To the best of our knowledge, there is no such kind of antenna neither in technical literature nor in the industry with such characteristics.…”
