DS‐PAM UWB System Using Non‐linear Chirp Waveform

We propose a direct‐sequence pulse‐amplitude modulation (DS‐PAM) ultra‐wideband (UWB) system which employs a non‐linear chirp waveform instead of the conventional Gaussian monocycle in this paper. In the approved frequency for UWB, there exist myriad narrowband interferers. Specifically, we focus on the mutual interference between UWB systems and 802.11a WLAN. This paper offers a method to suppress this inband narrowband interference by introducing a kind of non‐linear chirp waveform. Using the proposed non‐linear chirp waveform, the effects of one or more narrowband interference sources with different frequencies can be suppressed. System performance of UWB systems in the narrowband interference environment can be improved. Computer simulations with additive white Gaussian noise successfully demonstrate an increase in performance with the proposed system as compared to traditional linear chirp systems.     

基于信道缩短的超宽带信道盲估计方法

在基于一阶统计量解圆周卷积的超宽带信道盲估计方法中,存在着要求信道长度必须小于符号周期长度的局限性.使用信道缩短技术,对实际信道的长度进行缩短,估计出缩短信道后再恢复成实际的超宽带信道,有效地解决了这个问题.仿真实验表明,在信道长度大于符号周期长度时,仍然能很好地估计出信道.     

Multiple Access <Emphasis Type="Italic">M</Emphasis>-ary Modulation UWB System Based on Code-Selected Direct Sequence Bipolar PAM

This work presents an M-ary multiple access code-selected direct sequence (DS) ultra wideband (UWB) communication system. A high data rate multiple access UWB system can be obtained by a code selection mechanism. In the proposed system, each user is assigned a DS code set with M/2 DS code sequence and a particular DS code sequence can be selected by the log₂ (M/2) bits from the DS code set. More importantly for this M-ary UWB communication system, with the increase of the modulation level M, it allows to reduce the required transmitter power maintaining the number of users, the data transmission rate and the multiple access performance. In this paper, we also introduce the detailed algorithm to compute the bit error rate (BER) over the AWGN channel and correlation receivers.

An Ordered Successive Interference Cancellation Scheme in UWB MIMO Systems

In this letter, an ordered successive interference cancellation (OSIC) scheme is applied for multiple‐input multiple‐output (MIMO) detection in ultra‐wideband (UWB) communication systems. The error rate expression of an OSIC receiver on a log‐normal multipath fading channel is theoretically derived in a closed form solution. Its bit error rate performance is analytically compared with that of a zero forcing receiver in the UWB MIMO detection scheme followed by RAKE combining.
