A proper statistical model is introduced which makes it possible to treat the energy detector as a constrained continuous communication channel. To solve this non-linear optimization we used the Blahut-Arimoto algorithm extended with a particle method, so that also continuous channels can be handled. To get a better convergence behavior of the algorithm, we also implement two new methods, which are called “fuse particles” and “kick particles” [1]. The results we present show that the capacity of the energy detector decreases with increasing integration time and decreasing peak-to-average power ratio. It is shown that the capacity-achieving input distribution is discrete with a finite number of mass points.","PeriodicalId":260071,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Ultra-Wideband","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125450128","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}

As an accurate and high-resolution imaging method for targets embedded in dielectric medium, extended range points migration (RPM) has been developed. Although this method offers an accurate internal target image in a homogeneous media, it assumes the permittivity of the dielectric medium is given, which is not practical for general applications. Although there are various permittivity estimation methods, they require an enormous computation or are hardly applicable to an arbitrary dielectric boundary. To overcome the above drawbacks, we newly propose a permittivity estimation method suitable for various shapes of dielectric media, where the dielectric boundary points and their normal vectors are accurately determined by the original RPM method. In addition, our method iteratively compensates for the scattered waveform deformation using a finite-difference time domain (FDTD) method to enhance the accuracy of the permittivity estimation. Results from numerical simulation demonstrate that our method achieves accurate permittivity estimation less than 5 % even for a dielectric medium of wavelength size.","PeriodicalId":260071,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Ultra-Wideband","volume":"173 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121479298","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}

For the above application, while one promising ultra-wideband radar imaging algorithm for a target with arbitrary motion has already been proposed with a compact observation model, it is based on an ellipsoidal approximation of the target boundary, and is thus hardly applicable to complex target shapes, particularly when targets have specular surfaces or surface edges. To tackle the above problem, this paper proposes a non-parametric and robust imaging algorithm for a target with arbitrary motion including rotation and translation using multi-static radar, which is based on the matching of target boundary points obtained by range points migration extended to this model. To enhance the imaging accuracy in situations having lower signal-to-noise ratios, the proposed method also adopts an integration scheme for the obtained range points, where the equivalent antenna locations are correctly compensated for the estimated target motion. Results from numerical simulations show that the proposed method accurately extracts the surface of a moving target, and estimates the motion of the target, without any target or motion model.","PeriodicalId":260071,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Ultra-Wideband","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116678307","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 received coexisting signal is assumed to be the sum of the sinusoidal waves. The sinusoidal signal is detected and it is subtracted from the received signal iteratively to minimize the evaluation function. The frequency, phase and amplitude of the sinusoidal signals are estimated using the evaluation function and the Newton method. Obtained amplitude coefficients are combined per the bandwidth and the results are compared with the threshold to detect coexisting signal having wider bandwidth than FFT bin. The DER and FAR are evaluated to show the effectiveness of the proposed detection technique.

In security or rescue situations with blurry visibility, it is particularly promising for identifying human bodies. One of the most promising approaches for this type of application is the recently proposed range points migration (RPM) method, which is beneficial for non-parametric imaging and is robust in noisy or heavily interference situations. However, the original RPM requires a discretization of the direction of arrival (DOA) variables in its search operation. The resulting coarse discretization seriously degrades the imaging accuracy, particularly for 3-dimensional problems and quasi-far field observations (defined as more than 5 wavelengths). Then, in this approach, there is a severe trade-off between the amount of computation and accuracy. To overcome this difficulty, this paper proposes a more efficient RPM algorithm, where the extraction of the point of intersection (PI) of spheres is adopted. A distinct advantage of this method is that the accuracy is basically invariant to the observation range when avoiding the above discretization. Numerical simulations prove that our proposed RPM remarkably reduces the computation complexity while retaining imaging accuracy.","PeriodicalId":260071,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Ultra-Wideband","volume":"150 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134184118","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 performance of an energy detection receiver (ED) is determined by its integration period which must be defined appropriately to aggregate enough energy, while avoiding the collection of too much noise. A short integration period scaled at the impulse time is a good way to optimize the ED performances in UWB communications. However, because of the variety of situations encountered, numerous channel realizations must be considered in simulation for statistical validity. We must therefore wait long to get the simulation results. The work presented hereafter aims at proposing a novel method for evaluating the ED performance with a dense multipath channel. The approach developed explains the way we can use the theoretical analysis of the ED performance on additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) in order to estimate and generalize performance on UWB channel. The method can be extended to communications in a multipath channel.","PeriodicalId":260071,"journal":{"name":"2012 IEEE International Conference on Ultra-Wideband","volume":"98 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-11-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131889769","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}
