Ultra wideband (UWB) technologies have been developed to exploit a new spectrum resource in substances and to realize ultra-high-speed communication, high precision geo-location, and other applications. The energy of UWB signal is extremely spread from near DC (Direct Current) to a few GHz. This means that the interference between conventional narrowband systems and UWB systems is inevitable. However, the interference effects had not previously been studied from UWB wireless systems to conventional wireless systems sharing the frequency bands such as broadcasting system. This paper experimentally evaluates the interference from two kinds of UWB sources, namely an orthogonal frequency division multiplex UWB source and an impulse radio UWB source, to a broadcasting transmission system. The S/N ratio degradation of broadcasting system is presented. From these experimental results, we show that in all practical cases UWB system can be coexisted 35m distance in-band broadcasting network.

In this study, a new signal model suitable for UWB indoor environments with random angle spread is proposed to estimate the angle-of-arrivals(AOAs) of UWB cluster signals in an UWB wireless communication. A subspace based estimation technique adopted for this model is investigated and the estimates of the AOA and distribution parameter on the received UWB cluster signals are obtained. The proposed model and estimation technique are verified using computer simulations, and the performance of the estimation error is analyzed.

UWB 무선통신시스템은, 현재 초고속 무선 홈네트워크나 위치인식기반의 저속형 통신시스템분야 등에서 다양한 장점을 가지고 있으며 해당 기술에 대한 표준화 및 상용화를 위한 노력들이 각 분야에서 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 최근의 UWB 시스템의 연구 개발에 있어서 중요한 문제점 중의 하나로서 UWB 무선통신과 타 통신시스템간의 전파간섭문제가 대두되고 있으며 이에 대한 해결방안으로서 DAA(Detect And Avoid) 기술이 유력한 기술 중의 하나로 논의되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 UWB 무선전송용 DAA알고리즘에 대한 소개와 기술적인 특징 및 이를 위해 필수적으로 구현되어야 할 스펙트럼 센싱기술의 특성에 대한 분석이 논의된다.

Deviating from the exclusive frequency assignment, UWB has utilized much wider frequency range, worked independently without interfering other frequencies, and simultaneously enabled to increase more than hundreds of Mbps data transmission rate. In considering its high data rate and no interference, UWB certainly has an infinite and technical potential. In this paper, we studied the UWB technology as well as its technological trend, analyzed UWB antenna, and actualized a small antenna for wireless video streaming devices.

In this paper, we propose a solution on interference problem of MB-OFDM UWB system using cognitive radio. We use interference temperature model of cognitive radio that has proposed by FCC for estimating interference signal. Calculating channel capacity of MB-OFDM UWB system with interference temperature, we suggest how to solve interference problem. We have used genetic algorithm in cognitive engine's calculation process. The proposed MB-OFDM UWB System with cognitive radio shows very efficient in solving interference problem.

The purpose of this paper is to propose a detection algorithm and a tracking algorithm based on silent time using MB-OFDM UWB(Multi-Band Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Ultra Wide Band) receiver in order to satisfy DAA(Detect And Avoid) regulation of Korea to permit UWB in 3.1~4.8 GHz. In DAA regulation of Korea, if UWB device receives a signal more than -80 dBm/MHz from the victim system during UWB operation, the UWB system should avoid the collision within 2 sec. In this paper, we proposed the detection algorithm to detect the victim signal received by －80 dBm/MHz for the avoidance process that changes the operating UWB frequency to other UWB frequency and the subcarrier tracking algorithm to follow up the subcarrier positions of the victim signal for the tonenulling avoidance process that decreases the TX power of subcarriers occupied by the victim signal by -70 dBm/MHz. The performance of the detection algorithm and the tracking algorithm suggested in this paper is verified in simulation results considering various conditions.

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 introduces a new TR-UWB system, using frequency-domain components of UWB pulses. This is achieved by separating converted frequency-components into real and imaginary parts, and both parts are correlated and effectively combined. We make an analysis that the new scheme improves performance compared with a conventional by complex correlation computing. The simulation results confirmed that the proposed scheme has better performance than existing system.

Many application scenarios of ultra-wideband(UWB) radio assume non-line-of-sigit(non-LoS) signal propagations. Through-material propagation of UWB signal introduces a distortion of the waveform as well as attenuation, which will introduce a decrease of the correlation coefficient between the correlator template and the received signal. A hypothesis test approach to selection of the template waveform for UWB rake receivers is posed. Linde-Buzo-Gray(LBG) algorithm is used to select the candidate waveforms which are used to setup the hypothesis test. The performance of the algorithm is tested using a set of indoor non-LoS propagation measurement data.

Wireless Communication is playing a key role in implementing the ubiquitous society. However, due to the increasing wireless and mobile devices occupying the spectrum, the frequency resources are believed to become more and more limited. In order to deal with the problem, coexistence is considered to be a effective method to improve the efficiency of spectrum utilization between several different systems. Here, we utilize the UWB system to realize the coexistence, because it is an ultra wide band system which can co-exist with other narrow band systems. On the other hand, Cognitive Radio technology is an intelligent technology which can sense the spectrum environment and adaptively adjust the parameters for wireless transmission. In this paper, by using Cognitive UWB, the spectrum efficiency of the transmission channels is largely improved; Furthermore, the interference to other systems can be effectively avoided.
