Recently, ultra wideband(UWB) is emerging as a solution for the IEEE 802.15.3a(TG3a) standard because of its potential to enable high-speed data transmission with low power consumption. One of the submitted systems as s PHY proposal is M-ary biorthogonal keying direct sequence ultra wideband(M-BOK DS-UWB). In this paper, adaptive multiple antenna transmission scheme for achieving high capacity and reliability in M-BOK DS-UWB is proposed. This proposed system can overcome the limitations of STBC and V-BLAST, such as bit error rate performance and throughput.

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.

This paper, mathematically analyzes the performance of newly proposed TR-UWB system which the frequency components of a UWB pulse were processed so that the system could be implemented with ADCs of a few MHz sampling rate, and presents the comparison with an existing frequency-domain based TR-UWB system. The comparison is mainly based on the SNR ratio which depends on the mean and the variance of the frequency components. We also shows that the simulation results to support the theoretical analysis where the comparison is made under the IEEE 802.15.3a channel model as well as AWGN channel.

Ultra Wideband (UWB) Radar is a high-resolution radar for short distance detection which uses signals transmitted and received by each antennas in order to detect a target. It is possible to detect the respiration and heartbeat of a person without contact It is getting more and more often utilized since it is not affected by physical environment. In this paper, we implement an algorithm to detect human respiration and heartbeat rate using UWB radar signal. We process radar signals reflected from human body using Median filter, Kalman filter, Band Pass filter and so on. We also use CZT to extract breathing and heart rate. ECG (Electrocardiogram) was used for comparison of heartbeat data and we confirm that each data of ECG and UWB Radar were more than 98% identical each other.

본 논문은 UWB 통신 시스템에서 DPSK를 적용한 다중비트 변조 알고리즘을 제안한다. UWB 통신 시스템은 매우 낮은 파워의 신호를 사용하므로, 한 펄스를 이용한 다중비트를 보낼 수 있는 변조 알고리즘이 중요한 부분으로 작용한다. 이 논문에서는 UWB 시스템에서Gaussian 펄스에 정현파 가 곱해진 두 개 펄스의 조합을 이용하여 FCC Mask 에 저촉되지 않으면서 한 펄스에 다중 비트를 전송을 실현한 M-ary 전송 방식을 사용한다. 또한 채널상에서 펄스의 원치 않는 위상변화에 민감하지 않도록 하기 위해 DPSK 방식을 적용한 UWB 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘의 성능 평가를 위해 시뮬레이션 하였고 그 결과와 구조를 본 논문에 제시한다.

The WiMedia Alliance has specified a Distributed Medium Access Control (D-MAC) protocol based on UWB for high speed wireless home networks and WPANs. In this paper, firstly, a time slot reservation protocol for relay transmission is proposed. Furthermore, we propose a novel relay node selection algorithm adaptive to current UWB link transmission rate. The proposed relay node selection algorithm has compatibility with current WiMedia D-MAC standard and is executed at each device according to the SoQ as a QoS criterion.

In a continuously expanding wireless world, the number of radio systems increases every day and efficient spectrum usage becomes a more significant requirement. Ultra-wideband (UWB) and cognitive radio are two exciting technologies that offer new approaches to the spectrum usage. The main objective of this paper is to shed the first light on the marriage of these two important approaches. The strength of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based UWB in co-existing with licensed systems is investigated. The opportunity concept is defined, and the requirements of the opportunistic spectrum usage are explained. It is proposed to take the UWB-OFDM from the current underlay implementation, and evolve it to a combined underlay and opportunistic spectrum usage technology, leading to cognitive UWB-OFDM. This way, we aim at making UWB more competitive in the wireless market with extended range, higher capacity, better performance, and a wide variety of applications.
