BPSK modulation of monocycle Gaussian pulses which meet FCC's UWB frequency band (3.1 - 10.6 GHz) is adopted. The received pulses are correlated with template pulses from a local pulse generator. In each period the correlation value is either sampled by a high speed ADC for further signal processing or sent to a comparator to recover the transmitted data. Simulation and primary measurement results show that the receiver can achieve a demodulation rate of 100/220/480 Mbps and consumes 99 mW peak power. The design is based on a 0.18-/spl mu/m CMOS process.","PeriodicalId":105819,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE International Conference on Ultra-Wideband","volume":"75 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123120024","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The network topology is based on a clustered structure, formed by a multitude of piconets coexisting in a given area. The piconets operate in accordance to the IEEE 802.15.3 standard. Two different modulation formats are considered and their performance compared: multiband OFDM (MBO) and direct sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS). Performance parameters are evaluated using an effective semi-analytical procedure that allows us to account for interference due to uncoordinated piconets in the area in realistic propagation conditions. We show that when the operating band of the MBO is restricted to group A, the DS-SS outperforms the MBO. The situation is reversed when the available bands for the MBO increase.","PeriodicalId":105819,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE International Conference on Ultra-Wideband","volume":"63 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121707107","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Our work unifies the contributions scattered in the literature and provides a general approach that allows various extensions of previous works. The exact power spectrum is then evaluated using shot-noise spectral theory, which provides a simpler, systematic, and rigorous approach to the spectra evaluation of complex UWB signals. The strength of our methodology is that different features of the model contribute clearly and separately in the resulting spectral expressions.","PeriodicalId":105819,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE International Conference on Ultra-Wideband","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-09-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124897523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Fisher information matrix (FIM) of the ordinary Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) is available from maximum likelihood criterion. For three possible cases of a priori knowledge, the inherent accuracy are provided by a posteriori CRBs, which can be derived from three possible assumptions.

Thereby, we apply the IEEE 802.15.3a standard channel model. Our findings suggest that linear equalization (LE) is well suited for the lower data rate modes of DS-UWB systems, whereas decision-feedback equalization (DFE) is favorably applied for high-data rate modes.
