Consequently, the spectrum of the transmitted signal spreads over several gigahertz and overlaps with RF bands occupied by other communication systems. As a result, radio frequency interference (RFI) affects the received signal. We present an analysis of the effects of RFI to a victim UWB receiver. Conditions for RFI cancellation for a large class of interfering signals are derived and it is shown that accurate frequency estimation of the interfering signal is necessary in order to provide interference cancellation. Finally, we give the level of accuracy that guarantees that the theoretical results hold in practice.","PeriodicalId":272053,"journal":{"name":"2002 IEEE Conference on Ultra Wideband Systems and Technologies (IEEE Cat.

Inherent in traditional serial search problems is the assumption that only a single bin or a small number of consecutive bins can properly terminate the search. This assumption leads to search strategies which tend to be linear in nature, e.g., a linear sweep of the uncertainty region. Because of the dense multipath channel present in most UWB systems, this assumption is invalid as seen by the channel's relatively large delay spread. A generalized analysis of various search algorithms is presented based on a Markov chain model of a simple single-dwell serial search. The results from this analysis reveal that the linear search has a considerably larger mean acquisition time than the more efficient search strategy termed the bit reversal search.","PeriodicalId":272053,"journal":{"name":"2002 IEEE Conference on Ultra Wideband Systems and Technologies (IEEE Cat.

This efficiency becomes vital for ultra wide bandwidth (UWB) impulse radio in the presence of multipath, where each path undergoes a different channel, causing distortion in the received pulse shape due to a variety of factors, such as different amounts of attenuation for different frequencies (see Qui, R.C. and I-Tal Lu, IEEE Trans. on Vehicular Tech., vol.48, no.1, 1999; Qui, R.C., IEEE Vehicular Tech. Conf., 1998). In such a situation, using a clean ideal line of sight path signal as a template may degrade the performance due to the mismatches between the template waveform and the received signal. Furthermore, because of inherent filtering in the RF processing (i.e., antennas, amplifiers, etc.), it is often difficult to determine even such a clean line of sight pulse. Algorithms for designing optimal template waveforms for UWB impulse radio are developed and the improvement over a more traditional template waveform used for this kind of radio is illustrated.","PeriodicalId":272053,"journal":{"name":"2002 IEEE Conference on Ultra Wideband Systems and Technologies (IEEE Cat.

The interfering band in the frequency division duplexing mode has been considered to be fully covered for both uplink and downlink cases. The interference is actually modelled as sinc-pulse jamming having a spectrum in a predefined UMTS band. The uncoded UWB system performance is studied through the bit-error-rate as a function of signal-to-noise ratio as well as jamming-to-signal power ratio. Several modifications of a generic Gaussian pulse have been selected for the deeper study. The UWB systems are based on time hopping and direct sequence spread spectrum techniques, which utilizes a binary baseband pulse amplitude data modulation. The results showed that UWB system performance degradation is the highest when the interfering signal and the nominal center frequency of the UWB system overlap. UWB systems based on the time hopping concept seem to outperform those based on the corresponding direct sequence concepts. However, for high values of interfering power, the UWB performances are converging.","PeriodicalId":272053,"journal":{"name":"2002 IEEE Conference on Ultra Wideband Systems and Technologies (IEEE Cat.
