Abstract [en]
We show that dispersion characteristics of antenna patterns should be taken into account when developing systems using UWB signals. The accuracy of measurement of angular coordinates of objects using UWB pulses is increased by optimizing their shape based on known characteristics of the antenna system and at least partially known characteristics of the investigated signal source. Optimization algorithms allow to minimize the width of the directional pattern for a given level of the useful signal.
