A/d Precision Requirements for an Ultra-wideband Radio Receiver

چکیده
Ultra wideband radio (UWB) is a new wireless technology that uses narrow pulses to transmit information. Implementing an “all-digital” UWB receiver has numerous potential benefits ranging from low-cost and ease-of-design to flexibility. Digitizing an RF signal near the antenna, however, introduces its own set of challenges and has traditionally been considered infeasible. A high-speed, high-resolution analog-digital converter (ADC) is difficult to design, and is extremely power-hungry. The viability of an “all-digital” architecture, therefore, hinges upon the specifications of this block. In this paper, we demonstrate that 4 bits of resolution are sufficient for reliable detection of a typical UWB signal that is swamped in noise and interference.

Digital Architecture for an Ultra-Wideband Radio Receiver
This paper presents analysis of a digital Ultrawideband (UWB) radio receiver operating in the 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz band. Analog to digital converter (ADC) bit precision is analyzed on two types of UWB signals OFDM UWB and pulsed UWB all in the presence of Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and a narrowband interferer in the channel. This paper shows how probability of error and the bit resolut...
متن کاملOutage 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.
