The purpose of this paper is to analyze the performance requirements of wireless systems on ultra wide band, which is set by FCC(Federal Communications Commission). Normally the calculation of performance requirements is used in the standard form of each communication systems, but there is no standard in the wireless systems on Ultra WideBand. Therefore, I derive each system parameters through the analysis of new system performance on the basis of the method of Indoor Communication Systems. Additionally, I compare the conditions that are given by FCC with resolution of the performance by domestic law.

본 논문은 UWB(Ultra Wide-band) 통신 시스템에서 효과적인 신호 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. UWB 통신 시스템은 차세대 통신 시스템으로 각광 받고 있는 기술로써, 매우 낮은 파워의 송신 신호를 사용한다. 그로 인해 잡음 및 다중 경로 환경하에서 신호 검출 알고리즘이 시스템 성능에 매우 중요한 부분으로 작용한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 신호 검출 성능을 높이기 위해, 신호의 정확한 위치를 잡는 Tracking과정에서 사용되는 DLL 구조를 활용하여 보다 세밀한 신호 탐색이 가능하다. 실험 결과 신호 위치를 기준으로 신호길이의 1/3 내에서 신호를 검출할 확률이 AWGN 15dB 이하에서 30% 정도 높아짐을 확인하였다.

We treat the problem of channel estimation and interference cancellation in multiuser ultra-wide-band (UWB) communication systems over multipath fading channels. The UWB system under consideration employs a random time-hopping impulse radio format. We develop a channel estimation method based on linear weighted algorithm. An iterative channel estimation and interference cancellation scheme is proposed to successively improve the receiver performance. We also consider systems employing multiple transmit and/or receive antennas. For systems with multiple receive antennas, we develop a diversity receiver for the wellseparated antennas. For systems with multiple transmit antennas, we propose to make use of Alamouti’s space-time transmission scheme, and develop the corresponding channel estimation and interference cancellation receiver techniques. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate the performance of various UWB receiver techniques developed in this paper.

UWB(Ultra-Wide Band) system is transmitted using Gaussian monocycle pulse of very short pulse duration less than 1 nsec. Therefore, transmission signal has ultra-wide band spectrum to GHz band of very low power and not interfere with the existing communication system. A collision of multipath waves in UWB system with tarrier frequency very different with general wireless communication system. In this paper, the BER(Bit Error Rate) performance of UWB system applying Binary Phase Shift Keying, Quadrature Phase Shift Keying, 16-Quadrature Amplitude Modulation method under multipath channel using computer simulation is compared and analyzed.

In this paper, the performance of double binary turbo code is analyzed and simulated in ultra wide-band (UWB) systems employing multiple-antenna scheme.

The space time block code (STBC) scheme is adopted as a transmit diversity method. Also, receive diversity scheme is applied. And double binary turbo code is applied to the UWB system.

UWB(Ultra Wide Band)는 차세대 무선통신 기술로 무선 디지털펄스라고도 한다. GHz대의 주파수를 사용하면서도 초당 수천~수백만 회의 저출력 펄스로 이루어진 것이 큰 특징이다[1]. 기존 무선통신 기술의 양대 축인 IEEE 802.11과 블루투스 등에 비해 속도와 전력소모 등에서 월등히 앞서고 있으며, SoC(System on a Chip)의 저전력 구현에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. OFDM은 크게 FFT(Fast Fourier Transform) 블록, Interpolation /decimation 필터 블록, 비터비 블록, 변복조 블록, 등화기 블록 등으로 구성된다. 고속 시스템에서는 대역효율성이 우수한 OFDM(Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) 방식을 사용하고 있으며, OFDM 전송방식은 직렬로 입력되는 데이터 열을 병렬 데이터 열로 변환한 후에 부반송파에 실어 전송하는 방식이다. 이와 같은 병렬화와 부반송파를 곱하는 동작은 IFFT와 FFT로 구현이 가능한데, FFT 블록의 구현 비용과 전력소모를 줄이는 것이 핵심사항이라고 할 수 있다. 기존논문에서는 OFDM용 FFT 구조로 단일버터플라이연산자 구조, 파이프라인 구조, 병렬구조 등의 여러 구조가 제안되었다[2]. 본 논문에서는 Radix-8 FFT 알고리즘 기반의 New partial Arithmetic 저전력 FFT 구조를 제안하였다. 제안한 New partial Arithmetic 저전력 FFT구조는 곱셈기 대신 병렬 가산기를 이용 하여 지금까지 사용되는 FFT 구조보다 전력소모를 줄일 수 있음을 보였다.

We propose a D-ATR UWB (Differential-Average Transmitted Reference Ultra Wide Band) system based on impulse radio. The TR-UWB systems including traditional TR (Transmitted Reference) and ATR (Average TR), exhibit a problem of reduced data rate, since reference signals are additionally transmitted. To tackle this issue, the transmitter of the proposed D-ATR system employs a differential coding like the conventional D-TR system. In addition, the receiver of the proposed system has the structure that can improve signal-to-noise ratio of the reference template used in the correlation process, by recursively averaging the received reference signals like the conventional ATR system. The simulation results in the IEEE 802.15.4a UWB multipath channel models reveal that the proposed D-ATR system achieves much better bit error rate performance as compared to the conventional D- TR system.

In this paper, we analyze and simulate the performance of a tactics mobile communication system based on ultra wide band (UWB) in multi-user interference (MUI) environments. This system adopts a double binary turbo code for forward error correction (FEC). Wireless channel is modeled a modified Saleh and Valenzuela (SV) model. We employ a space time block coding (STBC) scheme for enhancing system performance. System performance is evaluated in terms of bit error probability. From the simulation results, it is confirmed that the tactics mobile communication system based on UWB, which is encoded with the double binary turbo code, can achieve a remarkable coding gain with reasonable encoding and decoding complexity in multi-user interference environments. It is also known that the bit error probability performance of the tactics mobile communication system based on UWB can be substantially improved by increasing the number of iterations in the decoding process for a fixed cod rate. Besides, we can demonstrate that the double binary turbo coding scheme is very effective for increasing the number of simultaneous users for a given bit error probability requirement.

The analysis of RF performance requirement conditions on communication system is critical indicator to predict the performance of system. UWB(Ultra Wide Band) system which the standard is not established yet is difficult to derive the precise system performance requirement condition. Also, there are differences between conventional UWB system and multi-band system about RF performance requirement condition. In this thesis, the differences are analyzed and performance requirement conditions of multi-band UWB system are described on the basis of the differences. Throughput, maximum transmit power, and sensitivity of multi-band UWB system is varied with respect to the number of Sub-Bands. In addition, because of Multi-path effect, if PRF(Pulse Repetition Frequency) is changed, the Multi-path link margin is happened to compensate for Multi-path Energy Loss which is contributed by increasing of the Link Margin. According to Multi-path Margin, the variation of the resistance with respect to sensitivity and interference signal is observed and analyzed through the simulation.

In this paper, a transmitter-based multipath processing and inter-channel interference (ICI) cancellation scheme for a ultra-wideband (UWB) spatial multiplexing (SM) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system is presented. It consists of taps delayed lines and zero-forcing (ZF) filters in the transmitter and correlators in the receiver. For a UWB SM MIMO system with N transmit antennas, M receive antennas, and Q resolvable multipath components, the BER performance of a linear transmit ZF scheme is analyzed in a log-normal fading channel and also compared with that of a receiver-based ICI rejection approach. It is found that when M ${\leq}$ N, the transmit ZF processing approach outperforms the ZF receiver while making the mobile units low-cost and low-power.
