In a Letter in 2003, L.E. Miller derived autocorrelation functions for ultra-wideband pulses based on Hermite polynomials. It is pointed out here that equation (1) of that Letter and hence the subsequent results are incorrect. A correct and elementary expression is derived for the autocorrelation function of Hermite-Gauss pulses.
