چکیده
AEther Wire's long term goal is the development of coin-sized devices that are capable of localization to centimeter accuracy over kilometer distances. These " Localizers " will be able to operate within a network of millions of other units in a local area, and users will be able to enter and leave the network seamlessly and transparently. Ultimately, these localizers will be able to operate for up to a year on a watch-sized battery, or longer if augmented by solar power. The overall goal of this ARPA sponsored project is the development of pager-sized units powered by AAA-sized cells that are capable of localization to sub-meter accuracy over kilometer distances in networks of up to a few hundred Localizers.

Outage Probability Bound and Diversity Gain for Ultra-Wideband Multiple-Access Relay Channels with Correlated Noises
In this paper, Ultra-wideband (UWB) multiple access relay channel with correlated noises at the relay and receiver is investigated. We obtain outer and inner bounds for the IEEE 802.15.3a UWB multiple access relay channel, and also, a diversity gain bound. Finally, we evaluate some results numerically and show that noise correlation coefficients play important role in determining relay position.
متن کاملNovel Low Duty Cycle Schemes: from Ultra Wide Band to Ultra Low Power
Electronic devices steadily penetrate almost every area of life and transform our surrounding more and more into a dense heterogeneous wireless network. To enable the potential of such a network, a wireless technology with high scalability potential is required supporting devices with ultra low power consumption as well as high data rates. Ultra wideband (UWB) is a promising technology inherent...
متن کاملA Theoretical Study on the Effects of Timing Jitter on the Performance of Multiple Access Impulse Radio
In February of 2002, the FCC approved the use of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology for commercial use. UWB has since been considered as a solution for the next generation of personal area networks (PANs) and wireless local area networks (WLANs). UWB (or impulse) radio employs short duration pulses to communicate, thereby spreading signal energy very “thinly” from DC to a few gigahertz [1]. The “u...
متن کاملCompressed Sensing: Ultra-Wideband Channel Estimation Based on FIR Filtering Matrix
Ultra-wideband (UWB) communication (Win & Scholtz, 1998; Yang & Giannakis, 2004a) is a fast emerging technology since the Federal Communication Commission released a spectral mask in the spring of 2002. The major reason for UWB technology to receive much attention is its promising ability to provide low-power consumption, high bit rate and multipath resolution, and coexist with the narrow-band ...
متن کاملA New Ultra-Wideband Low Noise Amplifier With Continuous Gain Control
This paper presents a new variable gain low noise amplifier (VG-LNA) for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. The proposed VG-LNA uses a common-source (CS) with a shunt-shunt active feedback as an input stage to realize input matching and partial noise cancelling. An output stage consists of a gain-boosted CS cascode and a gain control circuit that moves the high resonant frequency to higher freq...
