Non-Coherent Fourth-Order Detector for Impulse Radio Ultra Wideband Systems: Empirical Evaluation Using Channel Measurements

Low-complex and low-power non-coherent energy detectors (EDs) are interesting for low data rate impulse radio (IR) ultra wideband (UWB) systems, but suffer from a loss in performance compared to coherent receivers. The performance of an ED also strongly depends on the integration interval (window size) of the integrator and the window position. This paper presents a non-coherent fourth-order detector (FD) which can discriminate between Gaussian noise signals and non-Gaussian IR-UWB signals by directly estimating the fourth-order moment of the received signal. The performance of the detectors is evaluated using realistic channels measured in a corridor, an office and a laboratory environment. The results show that bit-error-rate (BER) performance of the proposed FD receiver is slightly better than the ED in low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) region and its performance improves as the SNR increases. In addition, BER of the FD receiver is less sensitive to overestimation of the integration interval making it relatively robust to variations of the channel delay spread. Finally, a criteria for the selection of integration time of the proposed detector is suggested.

基于压缩感知的脉冲超宽带信号检测

传统的信号检测算法基于奈奎斯特采样定理来实现,这对于带宽极宽的超宽带(ultra-wideband,UWB)信号而言由于要求采样速率过高而很难用硬件去实现。为此,本文研究了基于压缩感知(compressive sensing,CS)的脉冲超宽带(impulse radio UWB, IR-UWB)信号检测问题,利用IR鄄UWB 信号在时域上的稀疏特性,设计了一种基于压缩感知的IR鄄UWB 信号检测框架,在此基础上提出了一种自适应加权正交匹配追踪检测算法。仿真结果表明,新算法不仅能够通过远少于奈奎斯特定理所要求的采样速率检测出IR-UWB 信号,而且与基于匹配追踪的压缩感知检测算法相比,新算法在低信噪比的情况下对IR-UWB 信号的检测效果更佳。

Iterative (?Turbo?) Multiuser Detectors for Impulse Radio Systems

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in multiple access communication systems that spread their transmitted energy over very large bandwidths. These systems, which are referred to as ultra wide-band (UWB) systems, have various advantages over narrow-band and conventional wide-band systems. The importance of multiuser detection for achieving high data or low bit error rates in these systems has already been established in several studies. This paper presents iterative (?turbo?) multiuser detection for impulse radio (IR) UWB systems over multipath channels. While this approach is demonstrated for UWB signals, it can also be used in other systems that use similar types of signaling. When applied to the type of signals used by UWB systems, the complexity of the proposed detector can be quite low. Also, two very low complexity implementations of the iterative multiuser detection scheme are proposed based on Gaussian approximation and soft interference cancellation. The performance of these detectors is assessed using simulations that demonstrate their favorable properties.     

A Novel 3–5 GHz Active Matched Filter for Impulse Radio Ultra-Wideband

In this letter, a novel active matched filter for UWB-IR lower band (3.1–4.85 GHz) is presented. The signal to noise ratio is improved at the output using a tapped delay line with a common source amplifier. An artificial transmission line is used for wideband impedance matching. The matched filter achieves a power gain of 9.8 dB at center frequency. Input matching is better than ${-}19$ dB and output matching is better than ${-}15$ dB. The averaged SNR improvement is 4.6 dB using peak detection. Input referred 1-dB compression point is 0.7 dBm at the center frequency. The matched filter is biased from a 1.5 V supply with a total power consumption of 38 mW.

A/D Precision Requirements for Digital Ultra-Wideband Radio Receivers

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.     

A CMOS Ultra-Wideband Receiver for Low Data-Rate Communication

A low-power impulse-radio ultra-wideband receiver is demonstrated for low data-rate applications. A topology selection study demonstrates that the quadrature analog correlation is a good receiver architecture choice when energy consumption must be minimized. The receiver operates in the 3.1-5 GHz band of the UWB FCC spectrum mask on channels of 500 MHz bandwidth. The pulse correlation operation is done in the analog domain in order to reduce the ADC sampling speed down to the pulse repetition rate, thereby reducing the power consumption. The receiver comprises a low-noise amplifier with full on-chip matching network, an RF local oscillator generation, two quadrature mixers, two analog baseband chains followed by two ADCs, and a clock generation network. The receiver is implemented in 0.18 mum CMOS technology and achieves 16 mA power consumption at 20 Mpulses/s pulse repetition rate.
