Abstract

In this paper the non-ideal and frequency-dependent behavior of the hardware components of the ultra-wideband (UWB) transmitter RF-front end is analyzed. Both digital and analytical methods to compensate for this frequency-dependent behavior are investigated, in order to optimize the radiated wave, so that its spectrum perfectly matches the given mask. An example of spectral system optimization with analog devices is shown and verified through measurement results.
