In this paper, we propose the Tile Based Frequency Hopping - Chirp Spread Spectrum(TBFH-CSS) technique, which has excellent Low Probability of Intercept(LPI)/Anti-Jamming(AJ) performance. Conventional Frequency Hopping - Chirp Spread Spectrum(FH-CSS) technique uses only single chirp signal, that makes the follower jammer easy to find and jam. However, proposed TBFH-CSS uses various kind of chirp signals which are generated according to the structure of basis tile, it is composed the basis time unit and the basis bandwidth unit. The TBFH-CSS signal has variety signal period and signal bandwidth. Therefore, the follower jammer hard to find and difficult to jam the TBFH-CSS signal. We analysis the LPI/AJ performance of the TBFH-CSS technique when the follow jamming attack exist and compared with the performance of the conventional FH-CSS technique. From the analysis, we can see the proposed TBFH-CSS technique has better LPI/AJ performance than conventional technique.

In this paper, we consider the applicability of time-hopping(TH) systems for anti-jamming(AJ) communication. We first briefly summarize fundamentals of TH systems and several common jamming scenarios that have been considered in the literature. We then analyze the AJ performance of TH systems under those common jamming environments. From our simulation results, we reveal that among narrow band, partial band, broadband, and sweep jamming, partial band and sweep jamming are the best ones from jammer perspective. For the partial band jamming case, we show that the most effective bandwidth ratio and location are 50 % and 2.5-3.5 Ghz, respectively. For the sweep jamming case, we illustrate that the AJ performance of the TH system is enhanced when the sweep duration approaches to the bit duration. In addition, we pointed out that the most efficient jamming bandwidth ratio is 1/2. Finally, our results show that the TH-BPSK system greatly outperforms the TH-PPM counterpart.

In this paper, we propose and analyze M-ary pulse order time hopping multiple access ultra wideband (PO-THMA UWB) system using modified Hermite polynomial (MHP). The MHP pulses have a mutually orthogonal property between different ordered pulses and that property makes simultaneous transmission at the same time slot regardless of collision in the THMA-UWB system. Therefore, we derive the cross-correlation furlction of MHP pulses and analyze the BER of the proposed system and show that the BER performance and the transmission capacity are improved dramatically when compared with those of conventional THMA-UWB system.

In this paper, we focus on the retransmission following transmission failure in impulse radio ultra wideband (IR-UWB). The reasons of transmission failure are classified and a new 'selfish' retransmission protocol is proposed because time hopping can support multiple transmissions at the same time. Selfish retransmission protocol retransmits packets immediately without any kind of timeout or channel observation. Simulation results show that the proposed protocol improves throughput up to 50% and decreases retransmission delay also up to 70%, compared to a conventional retransmission system in IR-UWB.

This paper describes fast-hewing frequency synthesizers for multi-band OFDM(MB-OFDM) ultra-wide band(UWB) systems. Three different structures in generating 3 center frequencies(3432MHz, 3960MHz, 4488MHz) are designed and compared. The first structure generates 3 center frequencies using only one PLL operating at 4224MHz, and the second uses three PLLs operating at corresponding center frequencies. The proposed third structure employes two PLLs operating at 3960MHz and 528MHz. Simulation results using 0.18um RF CMOS process parameters show that the third structure exhibits boner characteristics in spur, area and current consumption than the other structures. The band switching time of the proposed synthesizer is less than 1.In and the spur is less than -36dBc. The synthesizer consumes 22mA from a 1.8V supply.

This paper addresses schemes which securely transmit voice and data information under the worst communication environment using the frequency hopping(FH) communication system to avoid monitoring or interference against enemy. In case of using the conventional FEC and bit interleaving scheme. the processing time for error control coding and bit interleaving due to system complexity is highly demanded. In this paper. the effective information coding scheme of maprity error correction and block interleaving compatible to the proposed FH communication system is proposed to transmit voice or data (I6Kbps. 4.8Kbps. 2.4Kbps. 1.2Kbps, O.6Kbps) under the worst FH communication channel. In transmitter. low rate data signals are configured to majority data blocks. and transmitted repeatedly to FH channel which are structured to 20Kbps hopping frame cells. In receiver. the received data are decoded block by block, and taken majority error correction. Consequently. burst or random errors are corrected at the block deinterleaver and the majority decoder. The proposed coder structure reduces the coding/decnding processing time as well as the jamming interferences, and further simplify the data processing complexity for FH communication. Improved performance of the proposed scheme was verified under simulated channel environments.

In this paper, an agile programmable chirp spread spectrum generator for wideband frequency-jamming applications from 20 MHz to 3 GHz is proposed. A frequency-mixing architecture using two voltage-controlled oscillators is used to achieve a wideband operating frequency range, and the direct digital synthesizer (DDS)-based chirping method with a two-point modulation technique is employed to provide a programmable and consistent chirp bandwidth. The proposed signal generator provides the various programmable FM signals from 20 MHz to 3 GHz with a modulation bandwidth from 0 to 400 MHz. The prototype successfully demonstrates arbitrary sequential jamming operation with a fast band-to-band hopping time of < 10 ${\mu}sec$.
