Ultra-Wideband is a low power digital wireless technology for transmitting large amounts of digital data over a wide spectrum of frequency bands typically spanning more than 500 MHz with very low power for short distances. The low power requirements of UWB mean increased battery life of sensors and tags leading to a reduction in overall operational costs. The Taoglas PHA.01 is a high gain UWB antenna designed to provide long range coverage at the sensor side and less susceptibility to interference due to low sidelobe rejection, (> 15 dB) relative to peak boresight gain. It is designed to cover UWB band 2 and 5 frequencies and does not excite other higher order modes in its frequency band of operation.
The PHA.01 horn antenna is designed to introduce minimal waveform distortion by allowing the fields within the structure to remain in the dominant transverse electromagnetic mode. A well-designed time-domain antenna should accurately reproduce the time waveform of the incoming field, thus preserving the amplitude and phase of the incoming signal. In order to provide desirable time-domain fidelity, an antenna must have both a constant amplitude response and a linear phase response in the frequency domain. The PHA.01 antenna exhibits both high Fidelity Factor, >0.9 and also minimal phase ripple, less than 65 ps, making it ideal for UWB communications.
