In this paper, we propose interleaved super-orthogonal convolutional coded ultra wide-band impulse radio(ISOC-UWB-IR) system, and analyze its performance. The proposed system uses interleaver and deinterleaver to decorrelate the temporal correlation of the fading process and to obtain the diversity gain. We also suggest the three types of interleavers, which are pulse-wise interleaver(PI), pulse sub-group-wise interleaver(PSGI), and pulse group-wise interleaver(PGI). Performance analysis result shows that the interleaving scheme, rather than the code rate of super orthogonal convolutional code(SOC) encoder, affects the performance for the Rayleigh fading channel.

In this paper, performance of a double binary turbo coded ultra wide band (UWB) system is analyzed and simulated in an indoor wireless channel. Binary pulse position modulation-time hopping (BPPM-TH) signals are considered. The indoor wireless channel is modeled as a modified Saleh and Valenzuela (SV) channel. The performance is evaluated in terms of bit error probability (BER). From the simulation results, it is seen that double binary turbo coding offers considerable coding gain with reasonable encoding complexity. It is also demonstrated that the performance of the UWB system can be substantially improved by increasing the number of iterations.

This paper proposes an architecture of channel estimation for multi-band OFDM UWB systems presented to IEEE 802.15.3a by Multi-band OFDM alliance(MBOA). The multi-band OFDM (MB-OFDM) systems should have channel estimation for compensation of signal distortion by multi-band channel. The moving-averaging estimation algorithm and multi-band equalization architecture for MB-OFDM UWB systems proposed in this paper was verified by the simulation. Simulation results show that MB-OFDM system with the proposed architecture have the performance improved by about 3.4 dB compared to system with no channel estimation in 0.1$\pi$ phase-rotated channel.

In this paper, we propose an improved TDoA (Time Difference of Arrival) localization scheme using PSO (Particle Swarm Optimization) in UWB (Ultra Wide Band) systems. The proposed scheme is composed of two steps: re-estimation of TDoA parameters and re-localization of a tag position. In both steps, the PSO algorithm is employed to improve the performance. In the first step, the proposed scheme re-estimates the TDoA parameters obtained by traditional TDoA localization to reduce the TDoA estimation error. In the second step, the proposed scheme with the TDoA parameters estimated in the first step, re-localizes the tag to minimize the location error. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves a more superior location performance to the traditional TDoA localization in both LoS (Line-of-Sight) and NLoS (Non-Line-of-Sight) channel environments.

UWB(Ultra Wide Band) under standardization for WPAN has a restriction in transmitting power because of interference with existing systems. To overcome the restriction, in this paper, we construct the MIMO(Multi-input-Multi-Output) channel using multi-transmit/receiver antennas and analyze the performance of the proposed system. In addition, through numerical simulation, we obtain the interference property among these antennas and analyze the effect of an interference to the system. The proposed UWB system has a ML detector and the least square method will be used to cancel the multi-user interference and the inter symbol interference caused by multipath.

In this paper, a design method for a compact stepped open slot antenna for an operation in the UWB band is studied. The proposed antenna is miniaturized by inserting L-shaped slots on the ground plane of the stepped open slot antenna through the creation of a resonance in the low frequency, and a strip director is appended to the antenna in order to increase the gain in the middle and high frequency regions. The effects of varying the length of the L-shaped slots, the distance between the director and the slot antenna, and the director length on input reflection coefficient and realized gain characteristics of the proposed antenna are analyzed. The optimized antenna with the size of $30mm{\times}30mm$ is fabricated on an FR4 substrate, and the experiment results show that the antenna has a frequency band of 3.02-11.04 GHz for a VSWR < 2, which assures the operation in the UWB band.

기존의 마이크로파 대역의 전송 용량이 포화상태가 됨에 따라, 더 넓은 주파수 대역의 초 광대역에 대한 시스템의 요구가 커져가고 있다. 따라서, UWB(Ultra Wide Bnd)를 이용한 기술은, 향후 무선 통신망에서의 멀티미디어 통신을 가능하게 할 광대역 무선 통신 시스템의 기술로 발전하고 있다. 이러한 UWB 기술과 fiber-optic 기술과의 접속은, 더 넓은 주파수 대역의 제공, 다 많은 전소 용량 및 저잔송 손실이라는 측면에서 큰 장점을 가지고 있다. 그래서, Radio-on-fiber 시스템을 위한 연구가 많이 진행되고 있는 추세이다. 최근들어, 음성, 데이터, 영상을 포함한 멀티미디어 통신에 대한 요구가 증가되고 있다. 이러한 요구에 부응하기 위한 방법이 광대역 통신인데, 광통신이 하나의 방법으로 대두되고 있으며, 기존의 마이크로파 대역의 전송량이포화 상태로 됨에 따라, 더 넓은 주파수 대역의 UWB 대역의 시스템에 대한 요구가 커져가고 있다. 따라서, HS 논문에서는 이러한 UWB의 신호 생성을 위한 광 주입 방법을 제안하고 시스템의 평가를 위해 전송거리에 대한 CNR(Carrier-to-Noise Ratio)에 대한 페널티를 분석하였다.

A microstrip feedline based open ended folded-slot antenna is proposed for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The prototype of the proposed antenna is fabricated on the FR4 dielectric substrate. The proposed antenna has a wide n-shaped slot that is useful for designing circuit components on the same printed circuit board (PCB) as that of the radio frequency (RF) modules. The proposed antenna use two kinds of slots as radiators, and each slots have different characteristics because of the different type of ends of the slot. The wideband characteristic can be obtained by resonances of each slot which are occurred at different frequencies. The measured impedance bandwidth (S₁₁≤ -10 dB) is 2.9-11.56 GHz, and the antenna peak gain is 2-4 dBi over the UWB range. The antenna has a stable omni-directional radiation pattern and only a small group-delay variation across the UWB passband. In addition, we present a modified design with band-notched characteristics of a 5 GHz wireless local area network (WLAN) frequency band.
