Abstract: The application of ultra wide band (UWB) technology in the minefield has good prospects and great significance. The existent path loss models of UWB can not satisfy the requirements in minefield environment. In order to make it practicable, a minefield model was established and the UWB signal's propagation features and laws were analyzed. Based on the theoretical analysis, a feasible UWB path loss model was put forward and the numerical simulations and experiments were also carried out. The results show that the new model can exactly reflect the UWB signal's propagation characteristic in the minefield and it is flexible and can be used in different conditions. The results can provide a basis for the application of the UWB technology in the mine weapons and equipment.

Key words: communication technology, minefield environment, UWB signal, path loss model
