An Analog/Digital Baseband Processor Design of a UWB Channelized Receiver for Transmitted Reference Signals

The frequency channelized receiver enables the use of practical analog-to-digital converters (ADC) to digitize ultra-wideband (UWB) signals. The design issues of the analog and digital baseband processor for the channelized receiver in a UWB transmitted reference (TR) system are investigated. In the analog part, the receiver performance is shown to be weakly dependent on the analog filter bandwidth, the filter order, and the ADC oversampling ratio assuming white input noise. In the digital part, the coarse acquisition performance is shown to be significantly better in a channelized receiver than in a fullband receiver. The implementation issues for fine synchronization and correlation window length are also studied.

Multiuser detection of time-hopping PPM UWB system in the presence of multipath fading

Ultra-wideband (UWB) impulse radio (IR) systems are currently being considered for several applications due to their attractive features that include low-power carrierless and ample multipath diversity. Among the various modulation and multiple-access schemes, time-hopping (TH) pulse position modulation (PPM) is a popular technique in application. Most past works rely on strict power control and perform single-user detection (matched filtering) on the desired signal. This paper aims to apply multiuser detection techniques in binary PPM (BPPM) UWB IR multiple-access systems. Moreover, we consider frequency-selective multipath fading channels to account for the wireless cellular environment. A class of linear multiuser detectors (LMDs) is applied to extract the information bits while eliminating multiuser interference (MUI) in the presence of multipath fading. Simulation results are provided to compare the performance of different LMDs.

超宽带馈源在通信和射电天文等领域有着极高的应用价值。四脊喇叭作为宽带馈源的一种重要形式,存在着反射损耗性能较差,方向图随频率波动严重,照明张角难以拓展等诸多缺陷。本文基于国际上已有的研究基础,设计了一款工作于1.2~6.8 GHz的双极化大张角四脊型超宽带馈源。该设计方案对脊片部件采用了"削出倒角"、"厚度赋形"和"脊片外延"的改进措施,显著改善了馈源在低频段的反射损耗性能,同时也拓展了照明张角,使其能够更好地应用在大张角主焦照明的场合。实测结果显示出,该超宽带馈源的带宽和反射损耗性能均略优于国外样机。在边缘照明角为68°的大张角情况下,该馈源依然可以在1.2~6.8 GHz的带宽(相对带宽5.67:1)内达到低于-10 dB的反射损耗,其中在2.5~5.3 GHz内的反射损耗低于-15 dB。而且,该馈源在E面和D面的-12 dB边缘照明角随频率的波动小于20°。     

Effect and Compensation of Colored Timing Jitter in Pulsed UWB Systems

Ultra-wideband (UWB) systems impose a stringent requirement on the jitter performance of the system clock. So far, only the effect of white Gaussian timing jitter has been considered in the literature via numerical simulation. However, practical clocks commonly exhibit colored jitter. In this paper, we first investigate the bit error rate (BER) performance of a single-user binary pulse position modulation UWB system subjected to white and colored Gaussian jitter. It is shown that colored jitter degrades BER performance much more than white jitter, and the extent of degradation increases as the jitter bandwidth decreases. Motivated by this result, we then propose a new jitter compensation scheme to improve the BER performance under colored jitters with small jitter bandwidth, in which each information-bearing data symbol is coupled with a pilot symbol. The proposed scheme attempts to track first the jitter for the current pilot symbol by making use of the pulse-template correlation function. This information is then used together with the known clock jitter bandwidth and jitter root-mean-square (RMS) value to detect the current data symbol according to the maximum likelihood criterion. Simulation results show that the algorithm is effective in improving the BER performance for colored jitters with small jitter bandwidth.
