Frequency domain processing of ultra-wideband signals
نویسنده
چکیده
The central challenge of ultra-wideband (UWB) radio is to overcome its intrinsic complexity. This paper argues for the use of high-speed sampling and a front-end FFT as the paradigm of choice for robust performance and low energy consumption in certain ultra-wideband designs. Assuming the need to approach optimal performance, it highlights the complexity advantage of frequency domain (FD) over time domain processing. Anechoic chamber and realistically propagated indoor UWB measurements, combined with simulated noise and interference, are used to illustrate FD techniques for initial synchronization and estimation of channel response.

Windowing Effects of Short Time Fourier Transform on Wideband Array Signal Processing Using Maximum Likelihood Estimation
During the last two decades, Maximum Likelihood estimation (ML) has been used to determine Direction Of Arrival (DOA) and signals propagated by the sources, using narrowband array signals. The algorithm fails in the case of wideband signals. As an attempt by the present study to overcome the problem, the array outputs are transformed into narrowband frequency bins, using short time Fourier tran...

متن کاملFrequency Domain Approach for CMOS Ultra-Wideband Radios
Ultra wideband (UWB) is a promising new communication scheme for short-range, high data rate applications. Processing UWB signals necessitates impractically high sampling rates for analog-to-digital converters. In this paper, we propose a new approach to address this problem.

This paper introduces novel techniques to perform analog to digital (AID) conversion, based on the quantization of the coefficients obtained by the projection of a continuoustime signal over an orthogonal space. The new AID techniques proposed here are motivated by the sampling of the input signal in domains which may lead to lower levels of signal distortion and significantly less demanding A/...
متن کاملDOA Estimation of Wideband Signals
For many applications, wideband signals are exploited for localization. A wideband signal is any signal whose energy is distributed over a bandwidth that is large in comparison to the signal’s center frequency. For example, ultrawideband (UWB) noise radars use wideband offering low probability of detection (LPD), while achieving good target detection and high resolution [1]. In the acoustic veh...
