In this paper, the performance of double binary turbo code is analyzed and simulated in ultra wide-band (UWB) systems employing multiple-antenna scheme. We consider both pulse position modulation-time hopping (PPM-TH) and pulse amplitude modulation-direct sequence (PAM-DS) UWB systems. 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.

Ultra Wide Bandwidth (UWB) spread-spectrum techniques will playa key role in short range wireless connectivity supporting high bit rates availability and low power consumption. UWB can be used in the design of wireless local and personal area networks providing advanced integrated multimedia services to nomadic users within hot-spot areas. Thus the assessment of the possible interference caused by UWB devices on already existing narrowband and wideband systems is fundamental to ensure nonconflicting coexistence and, therefore, to guarantee acceptance of UWB technology worldwide. In this paper, we study the coexistence issues between an indoor UWB-based system (hot-spot) and outdoor point to point (PP) links and Fixed Wireless Access (FWA) systems operating in the 3.5 - 5.0 GHz frequency range. We consider a realistic UWB master/slave system architecture and we show through computer simulation, that in all practical cases UWB system can coexist with PP and FWA without causing any dangerous interference.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of ultra wide band (UWB) systems in indoor wireless channel in accordance with the number of pulses per bit at transmit signals and the decision types of receiver. The indoor channel is modeled as the modified Saleh and Valenzuela (SV) model which has been proposed as a UWB channel model by the IEEE group, IEEE 802.15.SG3a. Two types of UWB signals are considered One is the pulse position modulation-time hopping (PPM-TH) signal. And the other is the pulse amplitude modulation-direct sequence (PAM-DS) signal. It is assumed that the receiver is an ideal receiver which can receive all signals of the multipath.

Since the first arrival path may not be the strongest path of UWB(Ultra Wide Band) multipath channels, this makes ToA(Time-of-Arrival) estimation becomes a challengeable issue. Furthermore, because of ultra bandwidth of received signals, the compressed sensing theory is employed to reduce the complexity caused by very high Nyquist sampling rate in coherent UWB receivers. In this paper, we propose a ToA estimation scheme which provides precise estimation performance, while exploiting the benefits of compressed sensing-based UWB receivers. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme can outperform other low complexity schemes in a wide range of signal-to-noise ratios.

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.

Various antennas have been developed to be used for UWB systems, However, Simultaneously meet omni-directional and low-VSWR requirements, essential for some applications such as UWB channel sounding. In this paper, we propose a novel wide band printed elliptic monopole antenna for UWB(Ultra wide Band). Wideband planar monopole disc antenna have been recently studied. The proposed antenna can cover m frequencies from 3.5GHz to 12GHz. it is determined from 10dB return loss. Antenna radiation pattern is omnidirectional at 3.5GHz - 10GHz. The antenna consists of the printed elliptical monopole disc with microstrip-line feed. Elliptic disc of antenna and ground height operate important to matching. The proposed antenna easy to construct UWB system.

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.

In recent years, the research of an efficient transmission method is going to meet a demand for high speed and large capacity radio communication. These systems make use of ultra-short duration pulses which yield UWB(Ultra Wide Band) signals characterized by low power spectral densities. The wavelet synthesis wave is able to set up the scale freely. So it is possible to use as the transmission wave of UWB by compressing time. In this paper, we present a general analytical expression for the average BER(Bit Error Rate) performance of UWB data transmission using wavelet system as a function of the cross-correlation between the users' signatures in an additive white Gaussian noise(AWGN) channel.

This paper proposes an antenna of the fork type structure that operates in the UWB (Ultra Wide Band) frequency band (3.1 ~ 10.6 GHz). The proposed antenna is attached a circular patch in order to obtain the UWB band characteristics to the fork-type patch antenna. The ground plane is implemented in a arc-shape configuration. The effect of various parameters of the modified fork type radiating patch and partial arc ground plane for UWB operation is investigated. The proposed antenna is made of $34.0{\times}50.0{\times}1.0mm^3$ and is fabricated on the permittivity 4.4 FR-4 substrate. The experiment results shown that the proposed antenna obtained the -10 dB impedance bandwidth 8200 MHz (2.7 ~ 10.9 GHz) covering the UWB bands. This result satisfied the characteristics of ultra-wideband and the proposed antenna will be applicable to an ultra wideband system.
