基于最优区域划分的子块快速因子分解后向投影算法

后向投影(Back Projection,BP)算法具有精确聚焦、完美运动补偿等优点,适合于机载超宽带合成孔径雷达(Ultra Wide Band Synthetic Aperture Radar,UWB SAR)成像,但是巨大的计算量限制了它的实际应用。子块快速因子分解后向投影算法(Sub-Image Fast Factorized Back Projection,SIFFBP)算法大幅度减小了BP算法的计算量,提高了BP算法的实用性。本文通过分析SIFFBP算法区域划分的约束条件,提出了一种基于最优区域划分的改进算法,解决了传统SIFFBP算法在小波束积累角时加速性能下降的问题。当波束积累角小于60度或成像区域长宽相差较大时,改进算法进一步减小了计算量。仿真和实测SAR数据的成像结果验证了改进算法的性能。     

Performance Analysis of UWB Channels for Wireless Personal Area Networks

Ultra-wide band (UWB) communication is one of the most promising technology for high data rate networks over short-range communication. The ultra-wide bandwidth offers pulses with very short duration that provides frequency diversity and multipath resolution. Ultra-wide band (UWB) channels raise new effects in the receiver, the amplitude fading statistics being different compared to the conventional narrow band wireless channels. This review paper focuses on modeling of ultra-wide band channels, especially for simulation of personal area networks and also discusses the benefits, application potential and technical challenges in wideband communication. The concept of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) has recently been applied in wireless communication systems due to its high data rate transmission capability with high bandwidth efficiency and its robustness to multi-path delay. UWB OFDM communication was proposed for physical layer in the IEEE 802.15.3a standard which covers wideband communication in wireless personal area networks. Since the channel model for multicarrier UWB communication is different from that of plain ultra-wide band channel, a novel modification method in UWB channel model is proposed with specific center frequency and multipath resolution. Moreover, dynamic channel estimation is necessary before demodulation of UWB OFDM signals since the radio channel is time varying and frequency selective for wideband systems. The performance of the proposed method is statistically analyzed using LS and MMSE based channel estimation methods.     

On the Impact of Ultra Wide Band (UWB) on Macrocell Downlink of CDMA-PCS System

In this paper, we present an analytical model to quantify the effect of the Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) transmitters on the CDMA-PCS downlink range and normalized capacity. The effect is given for different configuration and environments. Our analysis shows that, for a single UWB transmitter, an UWB power density of −78dBm/MHz is the maximum permitted power density to have only PCS macrocell capacity reduction of 1% when the distance between the PCS mobile and the UWB transmitter is 1 m. For the multiple UWB transmitters case, a power density of −80dBm/MHz, is the maximum permitted power density to have only PCS macrocell capacity reduction of 1% when the distance between the PCS mobile and the UWB transmitter is 1 m.     

Improved taylor-series location algorithm for cooperation networks

This article presents an iterative algorithm for estimating the location of the destination mobile station (DS) when some extra mobile stations around the DS are involved in and assist the base stations to complete the localization process. The proposed method is based on the taylor-series (TS) method and jointly estimates both the DS and the extra mobile stations, named reference mobile station (RS) in this article, positions simultaneously. Moreover, the time-differential-of-arrival (TDOA) measurements between DS and pairs of RSs are obtained by ultra-wide-band (UWB) signal, which is adept in accurate ranging application. According to the theoretic analysis, the Cramér-Rao lower bound (CRLB) of the modified TS algorithm reduces significantly. The actual performance, under a given simulation scenario, is enhanced by 25% at best.

基于正交PSWF的DS-BPSK多址调制方法

针对现有的多址超宽带系统中多用户干扰严重的问题,提出了一种使用正交椭圆球面波函数(PSWF)脉冲的直扩二进制移相键控(DS-BPSK)多址调制方法。该方法中每个用户使用的脉冲是相互正交的,当系统同步良好时,接收机可以完全消除多用户干扰,从而显著提高系统的误码率(BER)性能。同时,PSWF脉冲具有频谱灵活可控性,可使该系统满足美国联邦通讯委员会(FCC)频谱掩膜条件。仿真结果表明,与使用单一脉冲的DS-BPSK多址调制相比,该方法能有效降低系统BER,提高了系统的抗干扰能力。

Dual-Antenna RF CMOS Front-End for Interferer Removal in Ultra-Wideband Systems

Many ultra-wideband (UWB) systems are challenged by strong jammers and narrowband interferers. Using two antennas, we demonstrate a robust UWB radio frequency (RF) front-end design in a 0.25 μm mixed-signal complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology. The proposed realization is capable of adaptively removing a high-power, narrowband interferer early in the receiver chain avoiding front-end saturation and preserving UWB signal power. The early interferer removal resulting in interferer-free demodulation is based on the least mean squares (LMS) algorithm and achieved through a novel combiner low-noise amplifier and noise optimized filtering. Circuit level RF simulations of the proposed circuitry indicate a maximum improvement in signal-to-interference ratio of 39.6 dB.
