A novel compact ultra wideband(UWB) antenna for UWB application is proposed in this paper. The proposed antenna with $22mm{\times}26mm{\times}1.6mm$ covers the entire UWB bandwidth and has band notch characteristic for the frequency band of $5.15{\sim}5.825GHz$ limited by WLAN. The antenna has a concaved ground plane and staircase shape patch to achieve the wide bandwidth, and has an U shape slot with $\lambda/4$ length to notch the band. The return loss and group delay of the proposed antenna are measured.

In this paper, we have investigated the technology of location-aware applicable for ubiquitous environment and considered IEEE 802.15.4a IR UWB of location-aware WPAN specification which is capable of both communication of 1Mbps and wireless localization. We analyzed both system structure and the characteristic of transmission pulse as comprising of the transmitter for wireless localization of IR UWB.

초광대역 (UWB)통신기술을 응용한 다양한 무선측위시스템은 향후, 전기-IT융합 유비쿼터스 전기설비 환경의 센서네트워크에서 중요한 역할로 대두된다. 이러한 UWB기반의 무선측위시스템은 UWB송수신기 자체의 정밀거리산출기능의 정확도 정도에 따라 그 성능이 직접적으로 좌우된다. 본 논문에서는 현재 논의되고 있는 UWB 레인징기술에 대한 소개와 특히 저비용, 저전력 운영이 가능한 단순한 구조를 갖는 비가역성(Non-coherent) UWB 레인징 시스템구조에 대해 새롭게 제안하고자 한다.

As an enhancement to increase mapping speed of the current ALMA TP array, development of a focal plane array system working at ultra wide frequency range of 275-500 GHz with GPU-based software spectrometers has been carried out since 2015. Major progresses on such component development as wideband DSB mixers, a profiled corrugated horn, receiver optics, LO system and GPU-based spectrometer are reviewed with brief introduction to implication of ALMA 2030 for technical implementation.

In this study, we examine the effect of spreading sequence matched filtering on the power parameters of ultrawideband (UWB) multiuser interference (MUI) under different multiple access (MA) scenarios. More specifically, we investigate the manner in which the length of the sequence MF affects the average power, peak power, and the peak-to-average ratio (PAR) of the matched filtered version of an MUI signal. The results of the analysis performed for a simplified scenario are supported by the simulation results obtained for a realistic multipath environment.

Non-invasive and non-restrictive methods for measuring the physiological functions of the human body are useful for health care, security, and surveillance. In this paper, a new method that extracts human heartbeat information by utilizing ultra-wideband (UWB) impulse radar is proposed. The amplitude spectra of received radar pulses reflected from the human body are accumulated at specific time intervals, and chirp z-transform (CZT) is used to extract the heartbeat frequency from the amplitude spectra. The heartbeat frequency can be extracted with high-frequency resolution in the frequency band of the heartbeat of interest using CZT. Experimental results to verify the performance of the proposed method show that a highly accurate extraction of the heartbeat frequency is possible using this method.

Impulse radio (IR) is a competitive candidate for ultra-wideband (UWB) systems. In this letter, we evaluated the coexistence of an IR-UWB system based on an orthogonal sinusoidal correlation receiver (OSCR) with an IEEE 802.11a WLAN through a detailed simulation. The coexistence performance of the two systems is characterized in terms of the receiver's bit-error rates. Then, some approaches to interference mitigation are discussed.

The Redshift Search Receiver (RSR) is a sensitive, ultra-wideband spectrometer that is being built at the University of Massachusetts as one of the facility instruments for the 50-m Large Millimeter Telescope (LMT). It consists of four receivers each covering the entire 3 mm window from 74 to 111 GHz instantaneously. The primary goal of the receiver is to detect multiple molecular lines in galaxies at any distance and uniquely determine the redshift, in particular dust-obscured star forming systems at high-z which are not easily accessible. I will present some results from commissioning of the RSR on the Five College Radio Astronomy Observatory 14-m telescope, and discuss the future of the receiver.

In this paper, we analyze and simulate performance of space time block coded (STBC) binary pulse amplitude modulation-direct sequence (BPAM-DS) ultra-wideband (UWB) systems with double binary turbo code in indoor environments for various ubiquitous healthcare (u-healthcare) applications. Indoor wireless channel is modeled as a modified Saleh and Valenzuela (SV) model proposed as a UWB indoor channel model by the IEEE 802.15.SG3a in July 2003. In the STBC encoding process, an Alamouti algorithm for real-valued signals is employed because UWB signals have the type of real signal constellation. It is assumed that the transmitter has knowledge about channel state information. From simulation results, it is shown that the STBC scheme does not have an influence on improving bit error probability performance of the BPAM-DS UWB systems. It is also confirmed that the results of this paper can be applicable for u-healthcare applications.
