In this paper, We use Antipodal signal for data modulation of Ultra Wideband(UWB) system. This has maximum Euclidean distance and -1 or 0 of correlation values. With adapting this signal to M-ary that and time hopped pattern, We designed multiple access system. UWB Antipodal signal employes Gaussian monopulse and Rayleigh monopulse. Using these signals, we analysis and compare error probability, the number of user and data rate of the two systems under the AWGN.

In this paper, the performance of ultra-wideband (UWB) single input multiple output (SIMO) systems to achieve high data rate communications is studied in dense multipath environments. The effects of spatial and temporal diversities on the performance of multi-user time-hopping UWB systems using binary pulse position modulation (2PPM) are analyzed. The reduced-complexity Rake receivers based on the selective combining (called SRake) and partial combining (called PRake) are considered. The theoretical and simulation results show that the BER performance of the UWB system can be enhanced as the number of array elements and/or Rake fingers increases. Moreover, we observe that SRake is more effective for the IR-UWB systems to achieve a good BER performance, as compared with PRake.

초광대역 시간 도약 이전 임펄스 무전 전송 시스템의 성능 평가 1672 최근 들어 실내 무선 LAN(local area network)이나 군용 무선 통신 시스템을 위한 새로운 대역 확산 전송방식으로서 초광대역 시간 도약 임펄스 무선 전송(ultra wideband time hopping impulse radio; 이하 IR) 기술이 큰 관심을 모으고 있다. 신호 전송을 위해 연속적인 정현파를 이용하는 기존의 무선 전송 시스템과는 달리 IR 시스템은 1 nese 이하의 매우 짧은 펄스폭의 펄스 위치 변조(pulse position modulation)된 가우시안 모노사이클 멀스 열을 이용하므로서 매우 작은 크기의 수 GHz에 이르는 초광대역 스펙트럼을 가지며 기존의 통신 시스템에 거의 간섭을 미치지 않으며 사용 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 동기식 이진 (synchronous binary) IR 시스템의 성능 분석 및 평가 결과를 제시하고자 한다.이를 위해 의사 잡음 부호 발생기와 decimator로 구성된 시간 도약 패턴을 사용 하여 다원 접속 간섭 이 배제되는 동기식 이진 IR 시스템의 비트 오율에 대한 closed form 결과를 유도하고, 유도된 이론적인 성능 결과를 부가성 백색 가우시안 잡음 채널에 대한 모의 실험을 통해 확인하였다. 또한 모의 실험을 통해 상관 복조기에서 발행한 렌덤 타이밍 지터에 대해 IR 시스템의 강인한 특성을 확인하였다.

Narrow-band interference (NBI) from the coexisting narrow-band services affects the performance of ultra wideband (UWB) systems considerably due to the high power of these narrow-band signals with respect to the UWB signals. Specifically, IEEE 802.11a systems which operate around 5 GHz and overlap the band of UWB signals may interfere with UWB systems significantly. In this paper, we suggest a novel NBI suppression technique based on singular value decomposition (SVD) algorithm in time hopping UWB (TH-UWB) systems. SVD is used to approximate the interference which then is subtracted from the received signals. The algorithm precision and closed-form bit error rate (BER) expression are derived in the wireless multipath channel. Comparing with the conventional suppression methods such as a notch filter and a RAKE receiver, the proposed method is simple and robust and especially suitable for UWB systems.

Single carrier block transmission with frequency domain equalization(SC-FDE) has been shown to be a promising candidate in ultra-wideband(UWB) communications. In this paper, we analyze the performance of SC-FDE over UWB communications with channel estimation error. The probability density functions of the frequency domain minimum mean-squared error(MMSE) equalizer taps are derived in closed form. The error probabilities of single carrier block transmission with frequency domain MMSE equalization under imperfect channel estimation are presented and evaluated numerically. Compared with the simulation results, our semi-analytical analysis yields fairly accurate bit error rate performance, thus validating the use of the Gaussian approximation method in the performance analysis of the SC-FDE system with channel estimation error.

In this paper, we present a fast Fourier transform (FFT) processor with four parallel data paths for multiband orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing ultra-wideband systems. The proposed 128-point FFT processor employs both a modified radix-$2^4$ algorithm and a radix-$2^3$ algorithm to significantly reduce the numbers of complex constant multipliers and complex booth multipliers. It also employs substructure-sharing multiplication units instead of constant multipliers to efficiently conduct multiplication operations with only addition and shift operations. The proposed FFT processor is implemented and tested using 0.18 ${\mu}m$ CMOS technology with a supply voltage of 1.8 V. The hardware- efficient 128-point FFT processor with four data streams can support a data processing rate of up to 1 Gsample/s while consuming 112 mW. The implementation results show that the proposed 128-point mixed-radix FFT architecture significantly reduces the hardware cost and power consumption in comparison to existing 128-point FFT architectures.

This letter proposes an energy-detection-based non-data-aided weighted non-coherent receiver (NDA-WNCR) scheme for impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) pulse-position modulated signals. Compared to the conventional WNCR, the optimal weights of the proposed NDA-WNCR are tremendously simplified as the maximum eigenvector of the IR-UWB signal energy sample autocorrelation matrix. The NDA-WNCR serves to blindly obtain the optimal weights and entirely circumvent the transmission of training symbols or channel estimation in practice. Analysis and simulation results verify that the bit error rate (BER) performance of the NDA-WNCR closely approaches the ideal BER of the conventional WNCRs.

Ultra-wideband (UWB) ranging poses a set of time delay estimation problems for designers. The possibility of a large error can be a challenging problem for accurate ranging and positioning. An approximate analysis of large error performance of UWB ranging in multipath and multiuser environments is posed. Both analytical and experimental approaches are taken to evaluate the large error variance in a correlation-based serial search scenario.

The cognitive ultra-wideband (UWB) network detects interfering narrowband systems and adapts its configuration accordingly. An inherently adaptive and flexible candidate for cognitive UWB transmission is the wavelet packet multicarrier modulation (WPMCM). In this letter, we use an enhanced forward consecutive mean excision thresholding algorithm to tackle the noise uncertainty in the wavelet-based sensing of WPMCM systems, and mathematical analysis is performed for primary user channel fading. As a benchmark, we compare the proposed system with a conventional fast Fourier transformation-based system, and performance investigation proves significant improvements when primary and secondary links are subjected to multipath fading and noise.
