Wideband Characterization of Backscatter Channels
نویسندگان
چکیده
The wireless channel of backscatter radio systems is a two-way pinhole channel, created by the concatenation of two standard wireless channels. Pinhole channels cause higher attenuation and deeper fades than common wireless channels. Passive ultra-high frequency radio-frequency identification (UHF RFID) is such a backscatter radio system, with the backscattering tag acting as pinhole. While the effects of this type of channel are well-known in terms of fading statistics, the impact of the pinhole channel on wideband parameters is unknown. We present a method to calculate wideband backscatter channel parameters from the parameters of the constituent channels to and from the pinhole, with a focus on characteristics that are vital for narrowband and wideband ranging. The approximations are verified by simulations and by measurements in a UHF RFID warehouse portal.

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 کاملSlocalization: Sub-μW Ultra Wideband Backscatter Localization
Ultra wideband technology has shown great promise for providing high-quality location estimation, even in complex indoor multipath environments, but existing ultra wideband systems require tens to hundreds of milliwatts during operation. Backscatter communication has demonstrated the viability of astonishingly low-power tags, but has thus far been restricted to narrowband systems with low local...

متن کاملTime-scale domain characterization of non-WSSUS wideband channels
To account for nonstationarity, channel characterization and system design methods that employ the non-widesense stationary uncorrelated scattering (non-WSSUS) assumption are desirable. Furthermore, the inadequacy of the Doppler shift operator to properly account for the frequency shift in wideband channel implies that the timefrequency characterization methods that employ the Doppler shift ope...
