UWB pulse shape filter and antenna design for ETSI mask

A new pulse shape filter and a planar monopole antenna for satisfying the ETSI mask requirements on UWB communication systems radiation levels are designed in the paper. The microstrip filter on the basis of Chebyshev type of the 11 th order is designed in the way that can transform any UWB noise-like signal to the one, fitting the 6 ÷ 8,5 GHz band of the ETSI mask. The total filter size is 27×16 mm 2. The UWB planar antenna configuration was constructed on the basis of fractal technology, that allowed to provide impedance matching in the band 3,09÷15 GHz, while remaining the small dimensions (34×41 mm 2), which are inherent to UWB band. Both devices are made from the same material and can be easily implemented on one printed circuit board, that will reduce loss and increase the efficiency of ETSI mask matching and electromagnetic compatibility with the existing wireless devices.
