Review on UWB Bandpass Filters

Abstract

Rapid development of a number of wireless communication systems imposed an urgent requirement for a technology which contains multi-wireless communication standard. Since the ultra-wideband (UWB) technologies are of advantage in broad bandwidth and high-speed transmission, much attention has been paid to exploiting the UWB bandpass filters. In this chapter, the development process of the UWB bandpass filters and the regulation of the UWB bandpass filter are initially introduced. Subsequently, the application scenarios of UWB filters in UWB communication systems and unique merits of UWB filters were explored. In addition, the primary performance specifications of the UWB filters, including insertion loss, return loss, the level of out-of-band attenuation, and roll-off rate, are also presented. After a brief discussion of microwave network theory, several methods for implementing UWB filters are summarized. Furthermore, the design of the UWB filter with notch band is presented in Section 5. The last section, the Conclusion section, is given at the end of this chapter.

A Low‐Power WLAN CMOS LNA for Wireless Sensor Network Wake‐Up Receiver Applications

“…Because of its low power spectral density (PSD) of -41.3 dBm/MHz, it may be simply and securely installed alongside current wireless communication systems without generating interference. UWB's high data rate transmission with low energy consumption and multipath resistance characteristic enables it to be used for high-accuracy wireless range in IoT applications [1].…”
