Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology is gaining increasing interest for its potential application to short-range indoor wireless communications. Utilizing ultra-short pulses, UWB baseband transmissions enable rich multipath diversity, and can be demodulated with low complexity receivers. Compliance with the FCC spectral mask, and interference avoidance to, and from, co-existing narrow-band services, calls for judicious design of UWB pulse shapers. This paper introduces pulse shaper designs for UWB radios, which optimally utilize the bandwidth and power allowed by the FCC spectral mask. The resulting baseband UWB systems can be either single-band, or, multi-band. More important, the novel pulse shapers can support dynamic avoidance of narrow-band interference, as well as efficient implementation of fast frequency hopping, without invoking analog carriers.

Ultra wideband(UWB) technologies have been developed to exploit a new spectrum resource in substances and to realize ultra-high-speed communication, high precision geo-location, and other applications. The energy of UWB signal is extremely spread from near DC to a few GHz. This means that the interference between conventional narrowband systems and UWB systems is inevitable. However, the interference effects had not previously been studied from UWB wireless systems to conventional wireless systems sharing the frequency bands such as Broadcasting system. This paper experimentally evaluates the interference from two kinds of UWB sources, namely a orthogonal frequency division Multiplex UWB source and an impulse radio UWB source, to a Broadcasting transmission system. The receive power degradations of broadcasting system are presented. From these experimental results, we show that in all practical cases UWB system can coexist 35 m distance in-band broadcasting network.

본 논문에서는 고정밀 차량위치 추적 기반의 교통신호등 제어를 위한 저전송율 초광대역 무선통신 시스템에서의 Ultra Fast Acquisition 알고리즘을 연구하였다. 현재 CDMA에서 사용되는 acquisition방식으로는 저전송율 UWB시스템에서 회로가 복잡해지고 빠른 acquisition을 기대할 수 없기 때문에 새로운 Ultra Fast Acquisition방식이 필요하다. 기본적으로 Sequential Estimation방식을 사용하며 trinomial m-시퀀스를 사용하여 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크용 U시스템에서 long PN code를 사용하는 경우에도 회로의 복잡도를 줄이고 FCC Emission limit을 만족시키면서, $1\~3{\mu}sec$이내의 acquisition을 가능하도록 설계하였다.

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.

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.

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.

We utilize a set of bi-orthogonal pulse series to achieve NBI suppression. Through analysis and simulation, we verify that the proposed scheme can suppress NBIs effectively.

In this paper, we extend ultra-wideband (UWB) single input single output (SISO) systems with a hybrid pulse amplitude and position modulation (PAPM) to single input multiple output (SIMO) systems using receive antenna diversity. The performance of a rake receive diversity combining scheme for UWB SIMO systems with a PAPM is examined in a log-normal multipath fading channel and also compared with that of a time-switched transmit diversity (TSTD) multiple input single output (MISO) system. It is seen that as the number of receive antennas increases, the receive diversity combining system improves the error performance. It is shown that the TSTD UWB MISO systems offer the performance equivalent to the receive diversity combining scheme for SIMO systems.
