Impulse Radio (IR)-Ultra Wideband (UWB) enables accurate ranging due to very short duration pulses. Therefore, UWB may provide accurate positioning capability. In order to relax the complexity in circuit implementation, UWB system with low resolution analog digital converters (ADCs) has been investigated. In this paper, the accuracy of UWB positioning with comparators is investigated through ex...

in this paper, a novel time-varying channel estimation approach based on Kalman filter compressive sensing is proposed for the high sampling problem of ultra wideband (UWB) system considering the sparse of the channel impulse response. The direct sequence UWB signal is formulated to the mathematical model of compressed sensing after down sampling. The receiver recovery the channel impulse respo...

The ultra-wideband wireless personal area networks are expected to be most commonly employed in desktop environments. This paper presents a measurement campaign conducted on a typical office desk. A pair of omnidirectional UWB antennas and a vector network analyzer were used to measure the impulse responses over a frequency range spanning from 6 GHz to 8.5 GHz, in accordance with the UWB regula...

Abstract—Since radio channels available have been assigned to traditional narrowband communication systems the only solution to establish new radio communication links is the frequency reuse. This has to be achieved without causing interference in the conventional radio systems. Ultra WideBand (UWB) radio uses extremely wideband wavelets to decrease the Power Spectral Density (psd) of radiated ...

In this paper, we study the achievable rates of practical ultra-wideband (UWB) systems using pulse position modulation (PPM) and transmitted-reference (TR) transceivers. TR obviates the need for complex channel estimation, which is particularly challenging in the context of UWB. Based on an upper bound we derived for the error probability with random coding, we establish that for SNR values of ...

Band-notch characteristic has been of great interest recently to overcome the electromagnetic interference of Ultra-wideband systems (UWB) with other existing ones. In this paper, we present a novel microstrip-fed antenna with band rejection property appropriate for UWB applications. Band-notch characteristic has been achieved by adding a rectangular resonant element to the ground section. A pr...

We propose a novel direction-of-arrival estimation technique for ultra-wideband (UWB) electromagnetic waves, which allows for the effect of the antenna mutual coupling. This technique is comprised of a UWB interferometry, a multiple signal classification (MUSIC), and a database. The effectiveness of our scheme is demonstrated through numerical examples.

The narrow bandwidth at low frequency of current available wireless capsule endoscopy do not provide clear images of digestive organs. The Ultra Wideband (UWB) at frequency of 3.1-10.6 GHz is one of the possible frequency band to provide clear images from small intestine and stomach. This paper discusses on an UWB antenna to be placed inside stomach of a human body model.

Ultra Wideband (UWB) is a new emerging and promising technology as it can accommodate higher data over a large bandwidth. we proposed a Printed Square-shape UWB Antenna With Dual Band-Notched Characteristics. A simple square patch antenna has been fed through a 50 Ω microstrip feedline .A rectangular notch has been etched on the ground plane to reject the interference of WIMAX Band (3GHZ-4.7GHZ...

Since the first Report and Order by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) authorized the unlicensed use of ultra wideband (UWB) which must meet the emission masks on February 14, 2002 [1], both industry and academia have paid much attention to R&D of commercial UWB systems. Among UWB system design, the UWB antenna is the key component. Recently, a considerable amount of researches have be...
