This article develops an optimal pulse shaping filter design framework, which minimizes UWB signal interference to existing (or legacy) narrow band signals, such as global positioning system (GPS), satellite communication systems, etc. A 2-stage optimal filter design procedure is proposed. In the first stage, a transmission filter is optimized to satisfy an imposed transmission mask, which minimizes UWB interference to a tolerable level. In the sub-sequent optimization stage, a recovery filter is optimized to best recover the transmitted signal. The effectiveness of this procedure is demonstrated with an example, in which FCC indoor transmission spectral mask is used to design the transmission filter. This procedure makes it possible to best recover the transmitted signal while minimizing the UWB interference to other legacy systems.

In this paper we discuss the design of a CMOS based pulse generator for impulse-based UWB systems. The basic structure of our design involves a power amplifier with four control taps, which essentially decides the shape of the generated pulse. The design is versatile and may be used in a variety of UWB modulation schemes and systems. In addition, this design can also be incorporated into a multiband approach as a rectified cosine generator.

This paper presents a signal processing model for the delay-hopped transmit-reference ultra wideband communications system introduced by Hoctor and Tomlinson. In that paper, a single-user receiver based on a bank of correlators and a sliding window integrator was proposed. However, the radio propagation channel also introduces correlations, which have a significant effect not taken into account by the Hoctor-Tomlinson receiver. Here we propose an accurate signal processing model for the transmit-reference system, including the effect of the propagation channel, as well as an algorithm to estimate the resulting effective channel coefficients.

This paper describes an UWB location system that employs relative location principles to provide enhanced location performance in wireless networks. The system takes advantage of peer-to-peer range measurements between the devices and their neighbors. The collective range information is used to jointly estimate the location of the devices in the network providing enhanced performance.

This paper proposes a general framework that allows one to retrieve accurate UWB channel parameters from band-limited vector network analyzer (VNA) measurements. It is demonstrated that a specific post-processing technique, including a passband Hermitian reconstruction (PHR) and an estimation algorithm based on the frequency domain maximum likelihood criterion (FDML), makes it possible to reach super-resolution from band-limited measurements. Whereas the short bandwidth results in a poor precision when estimating differential path delays with traditional processing, the proposed method provides much thinner temporal precision, resolution and even actual path polarity.

A simple, robust 3-D stochastic image-based indoor channel (SIBIC) model is presented as an alternative to a statistical or a deterministic model for a rectangular room environment. This model is based on an image model; however, it treats the virtual point sources in the image model as clusters. The simulation results show this model introduces physically meaningful spreading in the mean excess delay and root-mean-squared delay spread. An application of the model is the generation of realistic array data for 3-D sensor array algorithm development where realistic spreading and angular dependencies are required.

In this paper a position based routing strategy which exploits the high precision ranging capabilities offered by ultra-wide band (UWB) is presented. It is shown that if a position-aware routing protocol and a power-aware routing metric based on ranging measurements are adopted, emitted power levels as well as multi-user interference are significantly reduced. The position-aware strategy is compared with standard solutions based on the minimization of the number of hops and on-demand routing. Results are presented for various transmission ranges, i.e. network connectivity conditions. Both power efficiency and routing performance are taken into account in the analysis and trade-offs between these two features are finally discussed.

We discuss in this publication the power spectral density (PSD) of some common time hopping impulse radio signals. Both analytical expressions and simulation results for the PSD are provided. The impact of the PSD on the transmitted power is analyzed in respect to the Federal Committee on Communications regulations on UWB emissions.
