本文提出了一种新的基于能量窗的直扩超宽带系统码片同步方法，通过设计具有重复特性的码来提高能量窗的信噪比，从向可以较为准确地获得码片同步，并将窗口中的信息作为接收端本地信号与接收信号进行匹配接收，这样可以存未知接收信号相位的情况下有效地接收多径能量，提高接收信噪比。在完成码片同步之后再进一步进行PN码的相位同步，这里以线性搜索为例分析得到超宽带信号总的平均同步时间，并与现有的超宽带同步方案进行了比较，新方案将信号捕获分成两部分完成，大大降低了超宽带信号捕获时间。

A novel Parzen probabilistic neural network based noncoherent detection algorithm for distributed ultra-wideband sensors

Ultra-wideband (UWB) has been widely recommended for significant commercial and military applications. However, the well-derived coherent structures for UWB signal detection are either computationally complex or hardware impractical in the presence of the intensive multipath propagations. In this article, based on the nonparametric Parzen window estimator and the probabilistic neural networks, we suggest a low-complexity and noncoherent UWB detector in the context of distributed wireless sensor networks (WSNs). A novel characteristic spectrum is firstly developed through a sequence of blind signal transforms. Then, from a pattern recognition perspective, four features are extracted from it to fully exploit the inherent property of UWB multipath signals. The established feature space is further mapped into a two-dimensional plane by feature combination in order to simplify algorithm complexity. Consequently, UWB signal detection is formulated to recognize the received patterns in this formed 2-D feature plane. With the excellent capability of fast convergence and parallel implementation, the Parzen Probabilistic Neural Network (PPNN) is introduced to estimate a posteriori probability of the developed patterns. Based on the underlying Bayesian rule of PPNN, the asymptotical optimal decision bound is finally determined in the feature plane. Numerical simulations also validate the advantages of our proposed algorithm.

调制和编码对超宽带接收机性能改善的比较

1 INTRODUCTION Ultra- wideband (UWB) technology can achieve 100Mbps high- speed wireless communications by use of GHz bandwidth short pulses. Because it has some merits such as very low radio power, difficult to be detected, good penetration and centimeter level location ability, it can be used in secret communications, target detection, personnel search and so on military applications. Since the large bandwidth of UWB signal cause the channel to be extreme frequency selectivity, a con…     

Triangular quad-port multi-polarized UWB MIMO antenna with enhanced isolation using neutralization ring

In this study, a quad-port multi-polarized ultra-wideband (UWB) multiple input multiple output (MIMO) antenna system with a new isolation technique is designed for wireless devices. The antenna structure consists of four triangular monopole elements and neutralization ring (NR) structures. The monopoles are back-to-back positioned in symmetrical and orthogonal arrangement. Therefore, they radiate towards four directions without interference, and thus the diversity performance is improved. A novel NR is formed by combining a rectangular ring and a straight line to reduce the mutual coupling due to interoperation of the elements. Each triangular monopole is fed by 50 Ohm microstrip transmission line (MTL) with a thin strip line for ensuring impedance matching. Antenna performance in terms of impedance bandwidth, current distribution, radiation pattern, peak gain and envelope correlation coefficient (ECC) is also investigated. The MIMO antenna system has 3.1–17.3 GHz impedance bandwidth, 1–5 dBi peak gain variation, less than 0.1 ECC. The results indicate that the proposed antenna has the characteristics of larger UWB bandwidth, high isolation by the NR structure, multi-polarization, uniform gain and quasi-omnidirectional pattern.     

Ultra-wideband balun and power divider using coplanar waveguide to microstrip transitions

An ultra-wideband transition from coplanar waveguide (CPW) to a pair of microstrip lines is presented in this letter. It is shown that the proposed transition can be used to devise an ultra-wideband T-junction power divider with equally split in-phase output signals. More importantly, it is demonstrated that the out-of-phase magnetic currents in the slots of the CPW can be utilized to achieve an out-of-phase power divider or a balun. Both the T-junction power divider and the balun benefit from compact size and good performance over an ultra wide frequency band from 3 to 16 GHz. Prototypes of both proposed devices are fabricated and measured to provide an experimental verification on the concept and numerically predicted features.     

Compact circular-patch-based bandpass filter for ultra-wideband wireless communication systems

Ultra-wideband (UWB) is a radio technology that enables low-power-level, short-range, and wide-bandwidth communication, and it has been widely applied in personal area networks, precision geolocation, medical, surveillance, and vehicular radar systems. Since Federal Communications Commission released the unlicensed use of the UWB range (3.1–10.6 GHz), a significant attention has been paid to the development of UWB devices, particularly UWB bandpass filters. In this paper, we propose a novel UWB bandpass filter based on circular patch resonator that is grounded by via and perturbed by slits and defected ground structures. The resonator’s behaviour is analysed in detail and it is shown that its specific configuration allows a flexible control of the three lowest resonant modes, which are used to form UWB passband. To demonstrate the potential of the resonator, a UWB filter has been designed, fabricated, and measured. The filter is characterized by the insertion loss lower than 1 dB and return loss higher than 17 dB within the passband, as well as by very small group delay variation of only 0.07 ns. Also, the filter exhibits suppression higher than 19 dB up to 30 GHz, and very small overall dimensions of only 0.31λ_g × 0.31λ_g, and thus it outperforms other published UWB filters.
