MB—OFDM UWB系统中基于信道缩短的信道估计

在MB-OFDM超宽带(UWB)系统中,针对循环前缀(CP)长度小于信道最大多径延迟时难于估计信道参数的问题,提出一种基于信道缩短的信道估计方法。首先采用发送信号插入梳状导频的方式,利用无约束最优准则,在接收机前端设计信道缩短均衡器,然后根据均衡器输出序列估计出复合信道,最后通过反卷积解出原信道参数。仿真结果表明,在信道最大多径延迟大于CP长度时,该算法具有更优的性能。     

基于均值循环卷积特性的UWB信道盲估计算法

该文针对采用码片率抽头间隔的TH-PPM超宽带系统离散信道,利用接收信号的均值循环卷积特性,对UWB信道估计问题进行建模,结合UWB信道的稀疏簇结构,提出一种基于抽头探测的UWB信道盲估计算法,避免了无谓的零抽头估计,改善了算法性能。仿真表明：在低信噪比(0-15dB)的情况下,基于抽头探测算法的MSE比没利用信道结构特征的最小二乘算法平均低约5.5dB;在中等信噪比(15dB)的情况下,基于抽头探测算法的MSE比最小二乘算法平均低约3.5dB,同时基于抽头探测算法还能获得较好的SER(Signal-Error-Ratio)性能。     

超宽带室内多径传播信道的有效时域射线模型

在这篇文章中,为超宽带（UWB）室内多径传播信道发展了一种有效的时域射线模型。这种模型是基于衍射的时域均一性几何理论（TD-UTD）技术的。这种技术包含了的几何光学（GO）和UTD的三种基本射线结构,即直射射线,损耗表面的多径反射射线和损耗边缘的绕射射线。我们提供了TD多径反射射线的水平极化和垂直极化的有效近似分析,描述了TD绕射系数。多径反射和绕射的所有路径,每个路径的时延,脉冲波形和幅度和TD路径损耗都可以由一个基于软件的TD射线追踪工具得到。     

Higher order statistics applied to IR‐UWB system based on M‐OAM

In this paper, an original communication system based on the ultra‐wideband technology and dedicated to intelligent transport systems is proposed. The ultra‐wideband presents a promising option for short‐range wireless communication system due to the transmission of very short pulses with low energy. To ensure reliability, safety, and security in the road, the proposed system must provide high data rate and good quality of service. The high data rate is ensured by the use of new modulation Orthogonal Amplitude Modulations. The quality of transmission is improved by the implementation of higher order statistic method at the receiver to eliminate the Gaussian noise and perform more precise decoding. Therefore, good performances in terms of bit error rate are guaranteed.     

Direction finding receiver for UWB impulse radio signal in multipath environment

In this paper, we propose a direction finding (DF) receiver for ultra wideband impulse radio (UWB‐IR) signal in a realistic multipath environment. The receiver uses an array of antenna, where each antenna is connected to a proposed propagation‐delay estimation structure. The advantage of the proposed structure is that it outputs a trapezoidal signal whose amplitude reflects the propagation delay and thus relaxes the sampling rate requirement of the analog‐to‐digital‐converter (ADC). The angle‐of‐arrival (AOA) is estimated from the vector of propagation delays measured with respect to reference antenna. Because these estimated delays contain outliers, we propose a simple AOA estimation algorithm based on minimum fractional‐distance search. Experimental results based on simulation show that the proposed DF receiver achieves better performance compared with the minimum ?₁‐ and ?₂‐based (least‐squares based) distance search.

A Low‐Complexity 128‐Point Mixed‐Radix FFT Processor for MB‐OFDM UWB Systems

In this paper, we present a fast Fourier transform (FFT) processor with four parallel data paths for multiband orthogonal frequency‐division multiplexing ultra‐wideband systems. The proposed 128‐point FFT processor employs both a modified radix‐2⁴ algorithm and a radix‐2³ algorithm to significantly reduce the numbers of complex constant multipliers and complex booth multipliers. It also employs substructure‐sharing multiplication units instead of constant multipliers to efficiently conduct multiplication operations with only addition and shift operations. The proposed FFT processor is implemented and tested using 0.18 µm CMOS technology with a supply voltage of 1.8 V. The hardware‐ efficient 128‐point FFT processor with four data streams can support a data processing rate of up to 1 Gsample/s while consuming 112 mW. The implementation results show that the proposed 128‐point mixed‐radix FFT architecture significantly reduces the hardware cost and power consumption in comparison to existing 128‐point FFT architectures.     

Design of an Internal Antenna with Near‐Omnidirectional H‐Plane Radiation Pattern over Ultra‐wide Bandwidth

In this paper, an ultra‐wideband internal antenna for use in mobile applications is proposed. The proposed antenna has symmetrical bi‐arm structures printed on the top and bottom of the substrate, and it occupies a compact area of 10 mm × 10 mm × 1 mm. The designed antenna has an impedance bandwidth from 3 GHz to 12 GHz and near omnidirectional radiation patterns over the frequency band of interest. The group delay between two antennas fabricated using the proposed design is less than 0.8 ns, and the maximum gain variation is about 3.16 dB.
