Using an inexpensive commercial step recovery diode (SRD) and a handful of passive circuit elements, it is possible to design a low-cost impulse generator for pulse-based UWB systems.
Ultrawideband (UWB) communications systems promise impressive bandwidths at low power levels through the use of time-coded pulses spread over a wide spectrum.
