This contribution presents the beamforming
behaviour of ultra-wideband (UWB) arrays. The arrays
consist of multiple ultra-wideband monopole antenna elements
which are mounted on a groundplane. The beamforming
behaviour is analyzed in the time- and in the
frequency-domain. Especially in the UWB - Impulse Radio
scenario the time domain characterization of the antenna
arrays is very important. The target application of such
UWB - Impulse Radio antenna arrays would be a smart
antenna system with beamforming and beamsteering potential,
to deliver high-definition video or uncompressed audio
to mobile devices. Therefore, several antenna array types
were set up experimentally and measured in an anechoic
chamber as part of the COST 2100 Short Term Scientific
Mission UWBeams II.
