Because of multiple access interference (MAI), the receiver may combine the pulses of other users in a partially coherent way. In this case, the receiver should be able to reject all the interfering users in order to synchronize with the user of interest. For pseudo-random time-hopping (TH) spreading codes, the expected performance of the receiver to differentiate between the user of interest and the interfering users is analyzed and some relations with the code properties are shown.

A simulated CMOS design based on common source amplifier with inductive degeneration is presented for illustration. Energetic gain is close to 15 dB with a minimum noise figure of 2.3 dB and an input IP1 of 11.4 dBm.

In order to obtain higher data-rate with limited bandwidth, a pulsed multicarrier time division multiplexing (pulsed-MCTDM) structure, a combination of TDM schemes and pulsed-OFDM modulations, is proposed in this paper. It boosts the data-rate by transmitting multiple pulsed-OFDM streams in parallel and distinguishes different streams by chip-level time slots. By multi-stream transmission, multi-branch receiving and parallel processing, it is able to provide higher scalability in data-rate and more flexibility in system design and reconfiguration than the original pulsed-OFDM system. The theoretical analysis demonstrates that the new structure does not decrease the available multipath diversity order while scaling the data-rate.","PeriodicalId":105819,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE International Conference on Ultra-Wideband","volume":"88 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":"115417073","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}

It is shown that the auto-correlation of the narrowband interferer, arising from the dirty template adopted in the signal demodulation, can be modelled as a bias term. The magnitude of this term depends on the frequency of the tone interferer, and it can enormously affect the receiver performance. However this kind of interference can be completely suppressed by designing a simple delay and chip code, without requiring any information on the frequency of the interferer. The cross-correlation between the UWB and the narrowband signals can be modelled as a random variable, for which we derive the analytical probability density function. The statistic of this term also depends on the carrier frequency of the tone interferer, and a method is proposed to mitigate its effects.","PeriodicalId":105819,"journal":{"name":"2005 IEEE International Conference on Ultra-Wideband","volume":"113 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":"124740429","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}
