A Compact Rhombus Shaped Antenna with Extended Stubs for Ultra-Wideband Applications

Ultra-wideband (UWB) is highly preferred for short distance communication. As a result of this significance, this project targets the design of a compact UWB antennas. This paper describes a printed UWB rhombus-shaped antenna with a partial ground plane. To achieve wideband response, two stubs and a notch are incorporated at both sides of the rhombus design and ground plane respectively. To excite the antenna, a simple microstrip feed line is employed. The suggested antenna is built on a 1.6 mm thick FR4 substrate. The proposed design is very compact with overall electrical size of 0.18λ × 0.25λ (14 × 18 mm²). The rhombus shaped antenna covers frequency ranging from 3.5 to 11 GHz with 7.5 GHz impedance bandwidth. The proposed design simulated and measured bandwidths are 83.33% and 80%, respectively. Radiation pattern in terms of E-field and H-field are discussed at 4, 5.5 and 10 GHz respectively. The proposed design has 65% radiation efficiency and 1.5 dBi peak gain. The proposed design is simulated in CST (Computer Simulation Technology) simulator and the simulated design is fabricated for the measured results. The simulated and measured findings are in close resemblance. The obtained results confirm the application of the proposed design for the ultra-wide band applications.

Near Optimum and Highly Efficient Decision-Feedback Receivers for Direct Sequence Ultra-Wideband Radio

This paper investigates three decision- feedback receivers for Direct-Sequence Ultra-Wideband Radio (DS-UWB) based on two-channel BPSK modulation with ternary spreading code. A compact and insightful vector-matrix signal model is built up for receiver design under UWB channel dispersion over many consecutive symbols. First, we consider the design of a RAKE with Decision Feedback (RAKE-DF) receiver. Using the Gaussian approximation technique, we derive its analytic performance under no error propagation. It is shown that the RAKE-DF receiver suffers from a significant error floor due to the uncancelled pre-cursor ISI (or pre-ISI abbreviated). Next, we design the MMSE-DF receiver to achieve a better performance by suppressing the pre-ISI, too. However, the MMSE receiver requires costly matrix inversion. Then a new receiver is investigated as the third one, which is called the RAKE with Bi-Directional Decision Feedback (RAKE-BDDF) receiver, for efficiently canceling both the post-(cursor) ISI and pre-ISI at symbol rate. It cannot only attain the matched filter bound approximately, but also maintain a similar complexity as that of the RAKE-DF receiver. Simulation and semi-analytic BER curves are included for performance comparison of the three receivers in the presence of the CM2 and CM4 UWB channels.

Analyses of numerical and experimental results for optical signal generation using heterodyne scheme

In this paper, we have proposed a heterodyne technique to generate an optical millimeter-wave signal for ultra-wideband communication. First, we have investigated the characteristics of semiconductor lasers locked to another semiconductor under the RF modulation having many sidebands. The RF-modulated master laser is represented by a series of Bessel functions. This model is then inserted into Lang's rate equations. By numerically solving the resulting rate equations, we have determined the locked laser output characteristics as well as the RF spectrum of the beat signals. The result is that the unselected sidebands can produce undesired beat signals whose power may be comparable to that of the desired beat signal. Furthermore, their strength is affected by the injected ML light power. With reduced ML light, undesired beat signals and the injection-locking bandwidth can be suppressed. Second, we have experimented a new technique for generating millimeter-wave signals from a semiconductor laser. A 32 GHz signal is generated using a multisection semiconductor laser operated under a continuous wave by injecting optical pulses at a repetition rate equal to the fourth subharmonic (8 GHz). The generated millimeter-wave signal exhibits a large subharmonic suppression ratio, a large frequency detuning range, low levels of phase-noise and a large locking range. These simulation results are confirmed by experimental results. The high-frequency signal can be used in the field of ultra-wideband communication employing local multipoint distribution system (LMDS), wireless local loop (WLL) and mobile broadband system (MBS).     

An antipodal Vivaldi antenna with band-notched characteristics for ultra-wideband applications

An antipodal Vivaldi antenna (AVA) with band-notched characteristics is proposed in this paper for ultra-wideband (UWB) applications. For UWB systems, there will be some interference from the narrow band systems. The proposed antenna adopts resonant parallel strip (RPS) to reject an unwanted narrow band. It is easy to tune the RPS to eliminate the interference band. To validate this approach, a printed AVA with RPS is simulated and fabricated. From 2 to 9 GHz, the proposed antenna shows a good result with approximate 2:1 VSWR, an average gain of 6.5 dB, and stable radiation patterns except the notched band. At the center frequency of the notched band, the measured results show that the VSWR is more than 8:1, the realized gain is less than −10 dB and a messy radiation pattern is achieved. The simulated and measured results are in good agreement.
