A current reused low-noise amplifier (LNA) with gain compensated to extend the bandwidth and is designed for ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless receiver. The design consists of two cascode common-source amplifier and an output buffer which is implemented in 0.18um RF CMOS process. The LNA gives 13.1dB gain; 9.1GHz 3dB bandwidth (3.1-12.2GHz) while consuming 13.9mW through a 1.8V supply. Over the 3.1...

The performance of an ultra-wideband multipleinput-multiple-output (MIMO) communications system is experimentally evaluated. Using 3x3 indoor channel measurements, it is demonstrated that the MIMO subchannels are highly uncorrelated, with correlation coefficients lower than 0.45. Eigenvalue decomposition further confirms the channel independence. A linear gain in outage capacity is demonstrated...

A microstrip ultra-wideband (UWB) filter with unique shape, compactness, simplicity of operation and flexible notch characteristics is introduced. It is based on the fundamental and harmonic characteristics of a 50 Ohm transmission line that is grounded at both ends. The filter possesses design flexibility in the sense that it can operate as a stand-alone UWB component or include simple additio...

─ A novel ultra-wideband (UWB) out-ofphase four-way power divider is presented. To achieve a division over a large frequency range, Tjunctions formed by slotlines and microstrip lines are utilized. Based on the transmission-line equivalent-circuit method, we derive the design equations of the proposed power divider. Furthermore, all measured results are in good agreement with the predicted desi...

A novel compact UWB antenna with 3.5/5.5 GHz dual notch-band characteristics is presented. The proposed antenna has a simple structure and compact size of 30 × 35mm2. Firstly, a compact modified rotated monopole antenna that covers UWB band is achieved. Then by inserting a λ/4 stub and etching two symmetrical λ/4 L-shape slots on the UWB antenna achieved before, a dual band-notched ultra-wideba...

In this paper, we propose a direct sequence ultra wideband (DS-UWB) radar system using a short-length pseudo noise (PN) sequence. The proposed DS-UWB radar reduces the correlation processing time by averaging out the noise in the correlator outputs, and thus, employs a short-length PN sequence unlike the conventional DS-UWB radar systems using multiple variable-length PN sequences. Numerical re...

In this paper, the effects of Bragg scattering on ultrawideband (UWB) signal transmission from periodic surfaces are reported. First, the frequency dispersive property of Bragg scattering is theoretically and experimentally confirmed. Next, the transfer function of both specular path and Bragg scattering are extracted. Then direct sequence UWB (DS-UWB) transmission simulations are conducted by ...

In this paper we propose frequency and time hopping pulse position modulation (FTH-PPM) ultra wideband (UWB) for multiple access communications. We have derived and investigated the bit error probability for the multi-user synchronous transmitter case in multipath channels with Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN). Simulation results show that bit error probability performance of FTH-PPM UWB ou...
