Recently wireless intra-vehicle communication has received a great interest from the automotive industry and ultra wideband (UWB) technology is considered as one of the potential candidate for this system. Many research works have been done on the measurement and modeling of intra-vehicle communication channel. However, very little work has been reported for the performance analysis of various PHY layer methods under the intra-vehicle communication environment. This paper is to study IEEE 802.15.4a standard in intra-vehicle channel and to evaluate its performance. Channel model in chassis and engine compartment is considered for evaluation. Through simulation BER performance of system with different receiver structures is analyzed.

This paper analyzes the spectral power properties of various time hopping UWB signals and shows that the power spectral densities of the various signals could have to be determined by the PSD of the pulse used in the signal. The pulse design method by which the FCC emission mask can be utilized fully is proposed. The method combines the arbitrary derivative Gaussian pulse linearly. The coefficients of the linear combination are calculated by the LSE(Least Square Error) method. Various parameters such as the number of coefficients and the types of the basic pulses are considered when calculating the PSD and pulse shapes of the new pulses.

A new modulation scheme called multicoded-pulse position modulation (MC-PPM) is proposed for an ultrawideband (UWB) impulse radio communication system. The multicoded signal is generated by using several orthogonal codes for transmitting data simultaneously. Then, each multi-level value of the multicoded signal is converted to pulse position which results in not only an improved data rate, but also a processing gain in reception, delivering the power-efficient benefit of PPM and guaranteeing the low pulse energy for UWB systems. We notice that the modulation of multi-level values of the multicoded signal to pulse position is more efficient in terms of achievable data rate than the modulation of transmitting data based on other PPM schemes within given bandwidth and pulse energy. Therefore, as a performance measure, we focus on the achievable data rate (link capacity) of the proposed scheme and analyze it theoretically. Through simulation, we compare the link capacity of the MC-PPM scheme and other PPM schemes, such as M -ary PPM and multiple PPM. With the fixed bandwidth and same pulse energy condition, the UWB system based on the proposed MC-PPM scheme shows good link capacity and an increased data rate as L increases, which is contrary to other PPM schemes.

In high-risk workplaces where communication is not possible, such as deforestation, it is necessary to use equipment that monitors the worker's situation in real time and obtains information according to the worker's location in case of an emergency. This paper analyzes the development and demonstration experiments of smart hard hats for deforestation workers to maintain a safe working environment. The developed smart helmet identifies the location of the worker based on the UWB signal for location estimation, and it is necessary to keep the distance between the workers not too close. UWB, Gyro, and LoRa are used to communicate even in the communication shadow area. It is used to provide a safe working environment such as improved construction to reduce worker risks and risks in forest working environments.

This paper presents a IR-UWB(Impulse Radio Ultra-Wide Band) transceiver circuit for data communication and real time location system. The UWB receiver is designed to OOK(On-Off Keying) modulation for energy detection. The UWB pulse generator is designed by digital logic. And the Gaussian filter is adopted to reject side lobe in transmitter. The measured sensitivity of the receiver is -65 dBm at 4 GHz with 1 Mbps PRF(Pulse Repetition Frequency). And the measured energy efficiency per pulse is 20.6 pJ/bit. The current consumption of the receiver and transmitter including DA is 27.5 mA and 25.5 mA, respectively, at 1.8 V supply.

In this paper, we propose a modified rhombus slot UWB(Ultra Wide Band) antenna with fork-shaped feeding structure. The proposed antenna is modified rhombus slot structure and fork-shaped feeding structure to get ultra-wideband characteristics for UWB communication. Modified rhombus slot structure consists of slot shaped which eliminated upper and lower part of the basic rhombus slot. The antenna is designed on an FR-4 substrate of which the dielectric constant is 4.4, and its overall size is $34mm(W_1){\times}34mm(L_1){\times}1mm(t)$, and its slot antenna size is $30mm(W_2){\times}16.75mm(L_3+L_4)$. After carrying out the simulation of each parameters, optimized values are obtained. From the fabricated and measured results, return loss of the proposed antenna satisfied Return Loss -10dB in 3.1 ~ 10.6 GHz. And measured results of gain and radiation patterns characteristics displayed for operating bands.

The forward link of the 3 G CDMA system may become limited under the increasing of the number of users. The conventional channelization code, Walsh code, has not enough sizes for much possible non, therefore, the quasi orthogonal function(QOF), which process optimal cross-correlation with Walsh code, is considered. In this paper, we investigate quasi orthogonal function on Jacket matrices, which can lead lower correlations values and better performance in 3 G CDMA system. Moreover, to simple the detector and improve the BER performance, a novel detection for QOF CDMA system is proposed. Finally, the simple recursive generation of the bent sequences for QOF mask function is discussed.
