چکیده

We introduce a realistic frequency-dependent channel model for ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems and develop a generalized broadband Capon spatial spectrum estimator for localization of multiple incoherently distributed scattering clusters. The proposed estimator is able to address the three crucial features of practical UWB impulse propagation: presence of local scattering for multiple incoherently distributed clusters, wideband array signals, and frequency-dependent dispersive effects. The particle-swarm optimization, which is a recently invented high-performance optimizer based on the movement and intelligence of swarms, is then implemented to perform a multidimensional parameter search to jointly estimate the source central angles, the polynomial regression coefficients for angle spreads, and the frequency-dependence of various clusters. Numerical experiments are also carried out to examine the performance of the algorithm under various environments and model mismatches.

Particle Swarm Optimization Based Noncoherent Detector for Ultra-Wideband Radio in Intensive Multipath Environments

Given the dense multipath propagation in typical ultra-wideband channels, traditional coherent receivers may become computationally complex and impractical. Recently, noncoherent UWB architectures have been motivated with simple implementations. Nevertheless, the rudimentary statistical assumption and practical information uncertainty inevitably results in a hardly optimistic receiving performa...

Wall Compensation for Ultra Wideband Applications

Due to their low frequency contents, ultra wideband (UWB) signals have the ability to penetrate walls and obstacles. As the signal propagates through these obstacles, it gets attenuated, slows down, and gets dispersed. This paper demonstrates wall compensation for throughwall imaging, localization and communication receiver design purposes by first characterizing wave propagation through variou...

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.

A 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...
