چکیده

This paper introduces the concept of measuring double directional channels in ultra wideband (UWB) systems. Antennaindependent channel data were derived by doing the measurements in a wooden Japanese house. The data were useful for investigating the impact of UWB antennas and analyzing waveform distortion. Up to 100 ray paths were extracted using the SAGE algorithm and they were regarded as being dominant. The paths were then identified in a real environment, in which clusterization analyses were done using the directional information on both sides of the radio link. Propagating power was found to be concentrated around the specular directions of reflection and diffraction. This led to the observation that the spatio-temporal characteristics of extracted paths greatly reflected the structure and size of the environment. The power in the clusters indicated that the estimated 100 paths contained 73% of the total received power, while the rest existed as diffuse scattering, i.e., the accumulation of weaker paths. The practical limits of path extraction with SAGE were also discussed. Finally, we derived the scattering loss and intra-cluster properties for each reflection order, which were crucial for channel reconstrucion based on the deterministic approach. key words: ultra wideband, UWB channel models, SAGE algorithm, spatio-temporal analysis

A Statistical Model for UWB Non-line-of-sight Indoor Environment

A new double-cluster statistical model for non-line-of-sight (NLOS) environment is proposed which is based on analysis of the experimental data. The model itself and the parameters estimating of the corresponding model are simplified. By defining the polarity of a particular model parameter, the model has the flexibility to deal with the “soft NLOS" and the “hard NLOS" environment. Therefore, t...

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.
