In this paper, An Ultra Fast Acquisition Algorithm of low transmission rate ultra-wideband(UWB) systems for car positioning and traffic light controling is proposed. Since the acquisition algorithms for CDMA system are not fast enough to access the low transmission rate UWB systems, the new ultra fast acquisition scheme which can be implemented with low cost and simplified circuit is required. The proposed algorithm adopted the Recurrent Sequential Estimation scheme and trinomial M-sequence. Therefore, The proposed scheme can reduce the average acquisition time in $1\~3{\mu}sec$ with simple circuit, even for the UWB systems which use long pseudo-noise(PN) sequence and transmit low power below the FCC EIRP emission limits. The simulation results for the average acquisition time of the proposed scheme are compared with the ones of the existing acquisition schemes.

In this paper, we have proposed a Ultra-Wideband slot notch antenna by using a semi-circular extension. The proposed antenna cover the entire UWB band(3.1${\~}$10.6 GHz) and notch out the IEEE 802.1la frequency band(5.15${\~}$5.825 GHz) by inserting a $\lambda$/4 length slot into the patch. A prototype antenna was fabricated on FR-4( ${\epsilon}_r$ =4.4, substrate thickness=0.8 mm) and measured for VSWR characteristics. The measured notched frequency variations versus frequency for different slot length. The path loss and group delay were measured. The proposed antenna also show a good gain flatness(1.9 dBi) except the IEEE 802.1la frequency band.

In this paper, a novel compact and frequency band-notch antenna for Ultra-Wideband(UWB) applications is proposed. The designed antenna not only shows good impedance bandwidth for ultra-wideband but has band notch characteristic for the frequency band of $5.15\~5.825\;GHz$ limited by IEEE 802.1la and HIPERLAN/2. To achieve both properties of wide band and band notch, the techniques of a concaved ground plane and inserted U-shaped thin slot into planar radiator are used respectively. A manufactured antenna satisfied VSWR<2 for the frequency band of $2.95\~11.7\GHz$ except the limited band of $4.92\~5.866\;GHz$.

Industrial facilities that use modern IT technologies require the ensured reliability and security of information in automated enterprise management. Concurrently, so as to ensure a high quality of communication, it is necessary to expand the bandwidth of communication channels, which are limited by the physical parameters of the radio frequency spectrum. In order to overcome this contradiction, we propose the application of technology fundamental to ultra-wideband signals, in which the ratio between the bandwidth and its central part is greater than "one". For this reason, the information signal is emitted without a carrier frequency - simultaneously within the entire frequency band - provided that the signal level is lower than the noise level. For the transmission of information content, the method of positional-time coding is used, in which each information bit is encoded by hundreds of ultrashort pulses that arrive within a certain sequence. Mathematical models of signals and values observed in wireless communication systems with autocorrelation reception of modulated ultra-wideband signals are furthermore recommended. These assist in identifying features of the dependence of the error probability on the normalized signal-to-noise ratio and the signal base. Comparative analysis has shown that the best noise immunity of the systems considered in this paper is the communication system, which uses the time separation of the reference and information signals. During the first half of the bit interval, the switch closes the output of the transmitter directly to the generator of the ultra-wideband signal - forming a reference signal. In the middle of the bit interval, the switch alternates the output to one of two possible positions depending on the encoding signal - "zero" or "one", forming the information part of the ultra-wideband signal. It should also be noted that systems with autocorrelation reception and separate transmission of reference and information signals, provide a high level of structural signal secrecy. Furthermore, they provide the reliable transmission of digital information, especially in interference conditions.

This paper presents a ultra-wideband sinuous antenna that operates in a whole frequency range (0.824~5.85 GHz) of Cellular/GSM-800, GSM900, ISM, GPS, DCS/GSM1800, PCS/GSM1900, WCDMA/UMTS/IMT2000, WiBro, WLAN and WiMax. The proposed antenna, which is composed of two sinuous arms, is designed as a self-complementary structure in order to have frequency-independent characteristics. It also uses a wideband balun of Klopfenstein taper structure to match to $50{\Omega}$. Experimental results show that the -10 dB return loss bandwidth of the proposed antenna is 5.24 GHz that ranges from 0.76 to 6 GHz, which covers all the frequency bands of the various wireless services. Within the entire operating frequency range, the measured radiation patterns in both E-plane and H-plane show nearly constant bidirectional broadside beams and the maximum antenna gain is measured to fall between 2.32~6.01 dBi.

In this paper, we presented the characteristics of the impulse signal which is applicable to the ultra-wideband antennas. In general, the width of the impulse has around sub nano or pico seconds in the time domain, where it corresponds to the wideband in the frequency domain. We confirmed by experiment that the impulse has around 130ps of the pulse width and bandwidth of 4GHz when 10MHz of sine wave excited as an input pulse. The fidelity factor was calculated in the time domain and -10dB bandwidth in the frequency domain was investigated for resistively loaded dipole antennas with different resistance per unit length. The received impulse signal through the wideband antennas is confirmed in the time and frequency domains that received pulse is to be similar to the generated impulse. The fidelity and bandwidth of the quantity value are 0.98 and 3.4GHz, respectively.

There are several factors that disturb an Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radio propagation in an indoor environment such as path loss, shadowing and multipath fading. These factors directly affect the quality of the received signal. In this paper, we investigated the influence of the human body shadowing on UWB propagation based on measured wireless channel in an anechoic chamber. The characteristics of the UWB channel including the transmitter and the receiver antenna effects are acquired over the frequency bandwidth of 3${\sim}$11 GHz. The major factors such as the power delay profile (PDP), the angular power distribution (APD), the pulse distortion and the RMS delay spread caused by the human body shadowing are presented.

This paper analyzes the accuracy of free space path loss and matched filter gain approximated by using a passband rectangular pulse for ultra wideband (UWB) radio systems. The example causal signal, a modulated Gaussian pulse with the same center frequency and frequency bandwidth of the passband rectangular pulse, is used to consider the accuracy. The path loss and matched filter gain of the modulated Gaussian pulse are simulated for the reference results. The UWB free space path loss is shown and is compared with that obtained from simulation and Friis' transmission formula. The UWB matched filter gain is shown and compared with simulation results. From the results, we can see that the UWB path loss formula is more accurate than the Friis' transmission formula. The results from the UWB free space path loss and matched filter gain formulas agree with the simulation. Then, these free space path loss and matched filter gain formulas approximated by using a passband rectangular pulse are appropriate for UWB system.

In the impulse radio ultra-wideband communication systems, the residual timing offset exists when the acquisition and tracking of the timing synchronization is well done. And the offset affects the performance of the system dramatically. In order to compensate the offset, we present the digital phase-locked loop that uses the reference signal in the correlation detection receiver. First, we show the degradation of BER performance that is caused by the offset, and then compensation process of the timing tracker and performance improvement. In this paper, the timing detector in the tracker operates at the sampling period of frame level uses the correlation between received and reference signal. Also, we present the performance comparison by using the computer simulation results for different Gaussian monocycle pulses.

A multiple symbol detection (MSD) algorithm is proposed relying on soft information for ultra-wideband systems, where differential space-time block code is employed. The proposed algorithm aims to calculate a posteriori probabilities (APP) of information symbols, where a forward and backward message passing mechanism is implemented based on the BCJR algorithm. Specifically, an MSD metric is analyzed and performed for serving the APP model. Furthermore, an autocorrelation sampling is employed to exploit signals dependencies among different symbols, where the observation window slides one symbol each time. With the aid of the bidirectional message passing mechanism and the proposed sampling approach, the proposed MSD algorithm achieves a better detection performance as compared with the existing MSD. In addition, when the proposed MSD is exploited in conjunction with channel decoding, an iterative soft-input soft-output MSD approach is obtained. Finally, simulations demonstrate that the proposed approaches improve detection performance significantly.
