In the past ten years, ultra wideband (UWB) technology has attracted great attention from academia and industry to enable a large number of applications. Typically, UWB was candidate to deliver home connectivity, sensor networks and body area networks. As UWB enabled devices operate in unlicensed mode, standardization efforts have been carried out in different parts of the globe to regulate their use in different contexts. ECMA-368 is an industry led standard for high data rate UWB communications. One of the key managing features of this standard is the so called distributed beaconing. In this paper, we analyze the distributed beaconing mechanism of ECMA-368. We focus on the transient phase in which newcomer devices attempt to join a network by accessing the standard defined beacon period. The joining procedure with which devices access the network is modeled by means of an embedded absorbing Markov chain. The relevant issue of modeling the miss-detection of beacon frames transmitted over fading channels is also assessed. Performance evaluation of distributed beaconing is given in terms of energy consumption. The required overhead for network setup is also analyzed.

This paper presents a novel method for signal acquisition in UWB-based transmit-only wireless sensor networks where concurrent transmissions are unavoidable and power control is infeasible. In such a scenario, the conventional CDMA approach where different sensor nodes have different spreading codes, suffers from the near-far effect and difficulty in code assignment. The proposed single-code method employing the low-duty-cycle DS-UWB signal turns the near-far problem to a near-far advantage and greatly simplifies the system complexity. The performance and implementation cost of our proposal are compared with other approaches, such as the CDMA approach employing the low-duty-cycle DS-UWB signal, the single-code approach employing the high-duty-cycle DS-UWB signal, the TH-UWB signal and the TH/DS-UWB signal. The results show that the proposed method has better performance and simpler implementation in the transmit-only scenario.

In this paper, a miniature planar ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass filter has been proposed and simulated by using loop resonators. The occupied size of the proposed filter is 123 mm2 The studied filter is not only compact but also delivers excellent scattering parameters with magnitude of insertion loss, S21 lower than 0.09dB and return loss found better than 20 dB. The bandpass filter has 3-dB fractional bandwidth of 65% of center frequency (5.46 GHz), in the range of 3.7 GHz to 7.22GHz. A new feature of the loop resonator filter is constructed by ring resonator and T-shaped stub loaded at the line center.

Timing acquisition represents a major challenge in carrying out highly efficient ultra-wideband (UWB) communications. The timing with dirty template (TDT) approach is a promising candidate, which is low-complexity high-performance timing acquisition. In this paper, we describe the dirty template (DT) technique, in order to develop and test timing algorithms in Data Aided (DA) mode. In addition, we derive the Cramer-Rao low bound, which is used as fundamental performance limit for any timing estimator. Next, the TDT acquisition estimator is achieved by using Maximum Likelihood (ML) concept. Simulation results confirm that the timing estimation performance is improved with either the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) or the training sequence number increases.

A novel super compact microwave ultra-wideband (UWB) bandpass passive filter (BPF) is proposed using S-shape broadside-coupled striplines. A theoretical model is presented to analyze the scattering and coupling mechanism of the suggested filter. To eliminate interference, a tunable integrated notched-band filter is also introduced using a new technique. A group delay of 0.08 ns within the passband is observed. Experiments carried out over the designed examples and the measurement and simulation results are compared. The physical volume of the filter is 1.5 mm × 1.8 mm × 1.5 mm.

Ultra-wideband (UWB) transmissions have well-documented advantages for low-power, peer-to-peer, and multiple-access communications. In this paper, we present novel linear receiver algorithms for multiuser detection (MUD) based on minimum mean square error (MMSE) for diversity enhancing UWB multiuser communication systems. The algorithms exploit inherent multipath diversity and mitigate the effects of both inter symbol interference (ISI) and multiuser interference (MUI). Further more, the receiver algorithms also optimally exploit diversity. We also propose a coded transmission scheme for the MIMO-UWB system for exploiting transmit diversity. We provide performance evaluation of the detectors through detailed analysis and simulations for synchronous and asynchronous users. An analytical framework for obtaining closed form expression for the bit error rate (BER) of the above schemes is also discussed.

This paper gives a performance overview of different types of ultra wideband (UWB) receivers that can be used in wireless body area network (WBAN) applications. The studied receivers are based on both coherent and non-coherent detections. The signal structure is following the IEEE 802.15.4a standard and the channel models used in the simulations are based on the experimental studies carried out at a real hospital environment. Two different links are used; on-body link and a link from body to external access point. Otherwise, the transceiver chain is kept the same all the time to distinguish the differences between studied cases, thus different channels.

Having adequate robustness to variations of both weight coefficient and integration interval, the weighted-transmitted reference (WTR) system can achieve a superior performance and support high data rate ultra-wideband (UWB) communications as well. To benefit from these excellent advantages without using ultra-wideband analog delay lines, in this paper, a finite-resolution digital receiver is proposed. The performance of the proposed receiver is evaluated at a data rate of 114Mbps averaged over 100 realizations of IEEE 802.15.3a channel model 1 (CM1) for different quantization levels of finite-resolution analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) operating at Nyquist rate, taking into account noise, inter-path/pulse interference (IPaI/IPI), and inter-symbol interference (ISI). The effects of sampling rates, number of reference pulses, and the ADC threshold(s), weight coefficient, and summation interval on the receiver performance are also investigated. The evaluation results show that the proposed receivers using finite-resolution ADCs only suffer a performance degradation of several dB as compared to the full-resolution ADC and analog receivers. Therefore, employing finite-resolution ADCs could be a promising approach to implement the WTR receivers without using ultra-wideband analog delay lines.

Current wireless communication systems strongly need to know if a line-of-sight (LOS) path is present between transmitter and receiver. The next generation of wireless systems will require more than the simple distinction between a LOS and a non-LOS (NLOS) link condition. The future short-range wireless communication and localization systems will require an exact environment identification in order to better set up all the services which the users require with a specific quality level. In this paper a new method for environment identification is proposed. This method is able to identify not only the LOS/NLOS condition but also the environment typology, i.e., if the propagation condition is typical of an office or a residential or an industrial area or outdoor, etc. If the environment in which the transmitter and the receiver are immersed is known, two main advantages can be reached: first, the localization of all the users is more accurate and, secondly, each receiver can be correctly configured in order to best adapt to the propagation conditions (cognitive approach) or to the network conditions (cooperative approach). Unlike the techniques discussed in the literature, the one proposed in this paper does not require any estimation, such as the estimation of the channel parameters. The method proposed here is based on statistical processing of the raw received probe UWB signal.
