Abstract A method to determine the transient waveform of ultra‐wideband (UWB) pulses at various stages of propagation and scattering is developed based on the reconstruction of incident wave and one of the known results for continuous waves. By using this method, the transmitting power of a UWB pulsed dipole antenna and the loss due to rainfall scattering are calculated, and the feasibility for short‐ and moderate‐range communication applications is discussed.
