UWB는 저속 UWB와 고속 UWB로 구분할 수 있다. 저속 UWB는 IEEE802.15.4a에서 Sensor Network 용도로 표준화 되고 있으며, 고속 UWB는 IEEE802.15.3a에서 중단된 표준화가 UWB Forum과 WiMedia Alliance에서 각각 진행되고 있다. 고속 UWB는 Certified Wireless USB를 시작으로 무선 1394, 고속 Bluetooth 및 IP 패킷을 전송하기 위한 프로토콜 등 다양한 응용에 적합한 표준이 진행되고 있다. UWB 규격 및 상용화에 있어서 2006년도에는 WiNet기술, PHY 및 Platform C/I 규격 및 시험이 규격의 흐름이었다면 2007년도에는 각 국의 주파수 규정을 반영하고 DAA 기능을 추가한 물리계층 및 MAC 계층 규격이 기술흐름의 중심에 있다. 본 고에서는 WiMedia Alliance의 고속 UWB를 중심으로 최근 표준 활동과 WiMedia 규격을 활용한 국내외 기술동향에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.

The rapid proliferation of in-home and office information applications and services is driving the need for new wireless technologies enabling wideband short range multimedia communications. Due to the growing demand for higher quality media and faster wireless connections, several IEEE standardization groups are considering very high data rate alternatives physical layer(s) for Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN). The Ultra Wide Band (UWB) multiple access technology based on very narrow pulse transmission, is one viable candidate for these applications providing very high bit rates services, low power consumption and accurate positioning capability. In this paper we provide a methodology to evaluate the UWB system BER performance in UWB wireless fading networks with power controlled UWB devices are considered. Results can be used to analyze the performance of a given network topology and to provide useful design ideas for an UWB home sensor network.

기존의 통신 시스템에 비해 매우 넓은 대역폭을 사용하는 UWB 시스템은 기존의 유선장치를 무선장치로대치할 수 있는 유일한 고속 무선 전송기술로서 가정내 멀티미디어 데이터 전송을 위한 근거리 무선 홈네트워크 기술로 부각되고 있다. 현재 IEEE802.15의 TG3a에서는 UWB 기술을 이용한 고속 WPAN의 물리계층에 대한 표준화가 진행되고 있으며, MBOA에서 주도하고 있는 MB-OFDM 시스템과 Motorola에서 주도하고 있는 DS-UWB 시스템의 2가지 제안서로 압축되어 표준화가 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 현재까지의 표준화 진행 상황 및 양측에서 제안된 UWB 물리계층 표준화 기술 동향에 관하여 살펴본다.

MB-OFDM UWB system will adopt LDPC codes to enhance the decoding performance with higher data rates. In this paper, we will consider algorithm and architecture of the LDPC codes in MB-OFDM UWB system. To suggest the hardware efficient LDPC decoder architecture, LLR(log-likelihood-ration) calculation algorithms and check node update algorithms are analyzed. And we proposed the architecture of LDPC decoder for the high throughput application of Wimedia UWB. We estimated the feasibility of the proposed architecture by implementation in a FPGA. The implementation results show our architecture attains higher throughput than other result of QC-LDPC case. Using this architecture, we can implement LDPC decoder for high throughput transmission, but it is 0.2dB inferior to the BP algorithm.

Power-Line Communication (PLC)는 전력선을 채널로 이용한 통신 방법으로 별도의 전용선 설치 없이 통신이 가능한 기술을 말한다. 그러기에 오래전부터 연구가 진행되어 왔으며 최근에도 여전히 고속 전력선 통신에 관한 연구가 진행 중에 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 이런 고속 전송을 위해 최근 연구가 활발한 고속 Ultra Wide Band (UWB) 전송기술을 전력선 통신에 적용하여 시뮬레이션한 후 결과를 통해 적용가능성을 확인한다.

UWB signal with high resolution capability can be used to estimate ranging and positioning in wireless personal area networks. The clock frequency differences of nodes have serious affects on asynchronous ranging methods to estimate locations of mobile nodes. The specification of high rate UWB describes successive TWR method with the estimation of a relative clock frequency offset. In this paper, we complete the ranging equations using relative frequency offset and time information, and propose a method to estimate the exact frequency offsets. We evaluate the ranging algorithms with simulation. The results show that the performances of the algorithms using frequency offsets are very close without noise. But, at noise environment, the method of exact frequency offsets shows better performance than that of relative frequency offsets.

The international standards of high-rate WPAN (Wireless Personal Area network) are under development by IEEE802.15 WPAN TG3 (Task Group 3). The study area of TG3 mainly consists of three parts: high rate physical and media access control layer in 2.4GHz ISM (Industrial Scientific Medical) non licensed frequency band; an alternative high rate physical layer by using UWB (Ultra Wide Band); and another alternative high rate physical layer based on millimeter wave. This paper describes the standardization trends of UWB and millimeter wave.

This paper designs an interpolator for a high speed ultra wide bandwidth (UWB). The UWB wireless technology will play a key role in short-range wireless connectivity supporting very high bit rates availability, low power consumption, and location capabilities. Because the UWB needs high operating speed, a cubic interpolator based on variable parameters for the UWB needs to be operated at a high speed. In order to improve an operating speed, the modified cubic interpolator is based on both a parallel processing and a pipelining in the existing interpolator simultaneously. Experimental results show that a maximum operating speed and period of the proposed interpolator using Stratix II EP2S60F1020C3 is 102.42MHz and 9.764ns, respectively. Compared to the conventional interpolator, the designed cubic parameter interpolator has been improved more than about 190%.

A fast-hopping frequency synthesizer that reduces complexity and power consumption is presented for MB-OFDM UWB applications. The proposed architecture uses 3960 MHz LC VCO, 528 MHz ring oscillator, passive mixer and LC-tuned Q-enhancement BPF to generate Band Group 1 frequencies. The adjacent channel rejection ratio is less than -40 dBc for 3432 MHz and -H dBc for 4488 MHz. A fast switching SCL-tpre MUX is used to produce the required channel output signal and it takes less than 2.2 ns for band switching. The total power consumption is 47.9 mW from a 1.8 V supply.
