چکیده
This paper introduces a programmable delay line circuit suitable for Impulse Radio Ultra Wideband (IR-UWB) architectures. When dealing with Impulse Radio Technologies, fine synchronisation used to be related to relative high cost devices. The low cost, low power architecture reported, has been tested into a COTS (Commercial Off The Shelf) breadboard, but is being easily implemented into Silicon CMOS Integrated Circuits. The achieved results show good performance and delays step in the sub-nanosecond range. Index Terms — Delay line, Programmable, Variable, Impulse Radio, UWB, synchronization...

Demand for low cost and high data-rate wireless communication systems is increasing. Since the FCC has authorized communication in the 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz frequency band, several technologies have been developed to satisfy the communication market. Typically, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) technique appears to be good candidate for high speed data communication whereas carrie...

Fig. 1. Inter-chip wireless communication within computer chassis Impulse radio systems have received much attention as a possible architecture for UWB transceivers due to the large data bandwidth, low spectral interference with nearby channels, and simplicity of UWB transmitter/receiver architectures using mostly digital implementations. Due to the low emitted power spectral density of -41.3dB...
متن کاملFCC-Compliant Operation of Low-Rate UWB Impulse Radio Applying Multiple Pulses per Bit
Starting from the FCC Regulations and the IEEE UWB standard this contribution derives the required specifications for the blocks of UWB transceivers. It shows that if CMOS technology is used then the coverage of UWB impulse radio is limited by the low supply voltage. To overcome this limit more than one UWB carrier pulse is used to keep transmitted energy per bit high enough but to reduce the r...
متن کاملA Novel Approach for the Link Layer in Impulse-based UWB Ad Hoc Networks
Ultra Wide Band (UWB) impulse radio, promises to be suitable for short-range, low-power, low cost and high data rate applications. While most UWB research is concentrating on the physical layer, little research has been published on the link layer. The fundamental operations in the link layer need to take into account the specifics of impulse radio and also the particular features of ad hoc net...
