본 논문에서는 초광대역 (Ultra-wideband, UWB) 시스템에서 실내 위치 측위를 위한 새로운 거리 추정 기법을 제안한다. 제안하는 기법은 딥러닝 기법 중 하나인 순환 신경망 (RNN)을 기반으로 한다. 순환신경망은 시계열 신호를 처리하는데 유용한데 UWB 신호 역시 시계열 데이터로 볼 수 있기 때문에 순환신경망을 사용한다. 구체적으로, UWB 신호가 IEEE 802.15.4a 실내 채널모델을 통과하고 수신된 신호에서 순환신경망 회귀를 통해 송신기와 수신기 사이의 거리를 추정하도록 학습한다. 이렇게 학습된 순환신경망 모델의 성능은 새로운 수신신호를 이용하여 검증하며 기존의 임계값 기반의 거리 추정 기법과도 비교한다. 성능지표로는 제곱근 평균추정에러 (root mean square error, RMSE)를 사용한다. 컴퓨터 모의실험 결과에 따르면 제안하는 거리 추정 기법은 수신신호의 신호 대 잡음비 (signal to noise ratio, SNR) 및 송수신기 사이의 거리와 상관없이 기존 기법보다 항상 월등히 우수한 성능을 보인다.

To investigate schemes of secret key generation from Ultra-wideband (UWB) channel, we study a statistical characterization of UWB outdoor channel for a campus playground scenario based on extensive measurements. Moreover, an efficient secret key generation mechanism exploiting multipath relative delay is developed, and verification of this algorithm is conducted in UWB Line-of-sight (LOS) outdoor channels. For the first time, we compare key-mismatch probability of UWB indoor and outdoor environments. Simulation results demonstrate that the number of multipath proportionally affects key generation rate and key-mismatch probability. In comparison to the conventional method using received signal strength (RSS) as a common random source, our mechanism achieves better performance in terms of common secret bit generation. Simultaneously, security analysis indicates that the proposed scheme can still guarantee security even in the sparse outdoor physical environment free of many reflectors.

This contribution focuses on the maximum likelihood (ML) noncoherent synchronization of multi-antenna transceivers working in faded environments and employing ultra-wideband impulse radio (UWB-IR) transmit technology. In particular, the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) is derived for the general case of multiple input multiple output (MIMO) UWB-IR systems and used to compare the ultimate performance of three basic transmit schemes, thereinafter referred to as single input multiple output (SIMO), MIMO equal signaling (MIMO-ES), and MIMO orthogonal signaling (MIMO-OS) ones. Thus, the noncoherent ML synchronizer is developed for the better performing transmit scheme (i.e., the SIMO one) and its performance is evaluated under both signal acquisition and tracking operating conditions. The performance gain in the synchronization of UWB- IR signals arising by the utilization of the multi-antenna technology is also evaluated.

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.

Direct-sequence ultra-wideband(DS-UWB) system is being considered as one of promising transmission technologies for wireless personal area networks(WPANs). Due to relatively low spreading factors and huge bandwidth of transmit signal, a DS-UWB receiver needs to be equipped not only with a rake receiver but also with an equalizer, of which the equalizer is not required for traditional direct-sequence code division multiple access(DS-CDMA) systems. The number of rake fingers is limited in practice, influencing the performance of the subsequent equalizer. In this paper, we derive a decision feedback equalizer(DFE) for DS-UWB systems based on the minimum mean square error(MMSE) criterion, and investigate the impact of various parameters on the DFE performance in realistic scenarios. In particular, we propose an approach to improving the performance of the DFE using additional channel estimates for multipaths not combined in the rake receiver, and discuss how the accuracy of channel estimation affects desirable DFE configuration. Moreover, we present simulation results that show the impact of turbo equalization on the DFE performance.

This paper applies transmit antenna selection algorithms to spatial-temporal combining-based spatial multiplexing (SM) ultra-wideband (UWB) systems. The employed criterion is based on the largest minimum output signal-to-noise ratio of the multiplexed streams. It is shown via simulations that the bit error rate (BER) performance of the SM UWB systems based on the two-dimensional Rake receiver is significantly improved by antenna diversity through transmit antenna selection on a log-normal multipath fading channel. When the transmit antenna diversity through antenna selection is exploited in the SM UWB systems, the BER performance of the spatial-temporal combining-based zero-forcing (ZF) receiver is also compared with that of the ZF detector followed by the Rake receiver.

In this paper, a novel embedded ultra wideband (UWB) band-pass filter is presented on a FR-4 package substrate including high Dk resin coated copper (${\varepsilon}_r=30$) film. The proposed UWB filter is comprised of a parallel resonator with meander-type uniform impedance resonator (UIR) and two series resonators with high Q circular stacked spiral inductor and metal-insulator-metal (MIM) capacitor. In order to obtain excellent attenuation characteristics by generating attenuation poles in lower and upper stop bands, a single MIM capacitor is added to each resonator. The fabricated FR-4 embedded UWB filter has insertion loss of -1.0dB and return loss of -11dB, respectively. It has also extremely wide bandwidth (over 50%) and small size ($3.7{\times}4{\times}0.77\;mm^3$) which is compatible with LTCC devices.

Digital Twin, one of the core technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, is attracting attention as a very suitable technology for disaster monitoring such as fires and earthquakes. In this paper, we implement a system equipped with UWB RTLS(Ultra-Wideband Real Time Location System), real-time remote control, and video streaming, which are element technologies for disaster monitoring digital twin. Since the proposed system structure is based on a cloud server, the actual location of the UWB indoor positioning-based client is transmitted to the user device in real time and stored on the cloud server for statistical and data analysis. In addition, we demonstrate through experiments that outliers occurs when the value of RSSI(Received Signal Strength Indicator) decreases due to communication collisions between UWB Tags, and propose an RSSI outlier correction algorithm to solve this problem.

최근 논의되는 대로 향후 가용 UWB(Ultra-Wideband) 대역폭이 축소되면 기존 UWB 신호의 광대역 특성이 약해지고 특히 다중 경로 환경에서 성능 저하가 두드러질 것으로 예상된다. 본 논문에서는 향후 변경되는 UWB 허가 대역에서 펄스 발생을 용이하게 하고 에너지 효율성을 높이는 방법으로써 선형 주파수 변조 신호를 사용하는 방법을 제안한다. 주파수 변조 신호를 사용함으로써 다중 경로 환경에서 신호 감지 성능이 향상되고 UWB 통신에서는 신호 동기 특성이 향상됨을 보인다. 정합 필터와 부엽 제거 필터를 사용하는 수신단을 도입하여 신호대 간섭비를 높이고 거리 측정 오차를 더욱 감소시키는 기법을 소개한다.
