This paper presents a radio frequency (RF) CMOS chip and algorithm integrated solution of an Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Impulse-Radio (IR) radar system for human presence detection and tracking. UWB radar can complement other human detection and tracking technologies, as it works well in poor visibility conditions with high time/depth-resolution. UWB radar response provides the complex multipath scattering characteristics in each scan, as well as the high sensitive variation in dynamic observation patterns between scans to pose challenge in designing UWB radar hardware and signal processing algorithm. We develop a UWB IR CMOS human feature detection radar transceiver chip and human presence detection algorithm. Thereafter, we integrated the UWB CMOS radar chip and the algorithm through UWB sensor module, and tested the integrated system in a simple outdoor environment to validate the performance of the integrated system. We present experimental results in which the integrated UWB human detection radar system tracks human and non-human targets, and detects human presence by discerning human from moving non-human objects robustly using human feature extraction and likelihood ratio testing (LRT).

Due to the huge bandwidth, ultra-wideband (UWB) signals can provide much higher localization and ranging accuracy in comparison to traditional narrowband signals. In order to exploit this capability, various UWB based localization and ranging techniques have been proposed and investigated in recent years. In this paper, these techniques are briefly introduced and compared to provide an overview of UWB based localization and ranging techniques.

A simple 3D surface estimation algorithm for ultra-wideband (UWB) pulse radars is presented. This algorithm based on trilateration is easy to implement and needs no preprocessing of measurement data. Mathematical derivations of the formulas for both monostatic and bistatic radar imaging setups are derived. The performance of the proposed algorithm is verified in 3D surface measurements, and a good agreement with well-established methods is shown.

Site-specific ultrawideband propagation modeling involves dealing with frequency variations of the propagation mechanisms and antenna patterns in the ray tracing program. Typically, electromagnetic field calculations have to be performed in a lot of frequencies to accurately construct the frequency response of the channel at a receiving point. This imposes a heavy computational burden on ray tracing specially in calculating the coverage map or finding the statistics of channel parameters where the number of receiving locations is large. In this paper, the computational complexity of ray tracing in ultrawideband propagation modeling is reduced by using cubic B-spline interpolation. The frequency response of the channel at each receiving point is obtained by calculating the electromagnetic fields at a limited number of frequencies and then interpolating the results using cubic B-splines. A speedup of about four times in simulating a typical residential environment is achieved. Besides, the accuracy of the results is maintained due to excellent characteristics of the cubic B-spline interpolation.

The paper describes an efficient and accurate circuit-level approach to the co-design of UWB receivers integrated with broadband antennas. A full nonlinear simulation of the front end is integrated with the electromagnetically (EM)-based description of the antenna impedance and far-field performance. For each direction of incidence of the transmitted UWB pulse, a circuit description of the receiver excitation under the form of a set of Norton equivalent current sources is generated by EM theory. The source internal impedance is the antenna impedance determined by full-wave EM analysis. The receiver nonlinear analysis is carried out by a model-order reduction Harmonic Balance (HB) technique based on Krylov subspaces. The procedure allows the actual receiver sensitivity to be accurately evaluated by taking into account the amplitude and phase distortion introduced by the antenna, which may significantly change with the UWB pulse direction of incidence. It also allows an effective prediction of the link power budget, which is particularly critical in ultra-low power Impulse Radio (IR) -UWB applications.

This paper presents a prototype of ultra-wideband-based wireless body area networks and tests the prototype in experiments held in an anechoic chamber. Physical and Media Access Control specifications are based on the draft standard in IEEE802.15.6. The Media Access Control is based on a superframe structure comprising time slots assigned to a beacon, contention access period, or contention-free period. The physical layer achieves a bit rate of 258 kbps in differential binary phase-shift keying with direct sequence spreading. The center frequency is 4.096 GHz. In the experiments, the throughput performance of the prototype is measured for the scenario of the wireless monitoring of vital signs with a sensor device and hub device. In this scenario, a bit rate of 18 kbps is required to convey a measured physiological waveform. The experiment results show that the requirement is continuously met, although the throughput is affected by body movement.

The design of a new UWB lower-half bandpass filter is proposed, which is based upon the microstrip Composite Right-and Left-Handed Transmission-line(CRLH-TL) metamaterial. Particularly, the interdigital coupled(IDC) lines of the CRLH geometry are proposed to be separated by inserting open stubs to meet the specs on the passband. Also, there is another pair of stubs to complete the design in a limited space. The measurement is shown to be acceptable and agreeable with the circuit and Electromagnetic field simulations

In this paper, we analyze and model the operation of prioritized contention access (PCA) devices in the presence of the distributed reservation protocol (DRP) devices in high rate WiMedia networks. The analysis model is basically based on a Markov chain concept, yet the Markov chain concept itself has a limitation that the dependency among Markov chains, representing PCA devices, caused by PCA transmission deferment during DRP intervals cannot be reflected in it. We analyze this deferment phenomenon of PCA transmissions due to the existence of intermittent DRP intervals, mathematically formulate it, and supplement the Markov chain-based model by this formulation. Analytical results obtained from the proposed model agree more precisely with simulation results compared to those from conventional one and show that the saturated throughput of PCA devices decrease as the intermittent DRP intervals occur frequently.
