The techniques are based on the method of moments (MoM), finite element method (FEM), and physical optics (PO). Modern wireless systems involve electrically large EM structures (antennas, circuits, and components) that are very complex in both geometry and material composition. There is a clear need for advanced analysis and design tools for predicting the performance and optimizing the parameters of such structures prior to costly prototype development. In addition, EM tools are needed for indoor and outdoor propagation modeling, for assessing EM interactions with human bodies, etc. These tools have to be very accurate and reliable. Wireless designers also demand that the simulation techniques be fast and run on relatively small computing platforms, such as standard desktop PCs. Generally, MoM is very efficient at modeling of open-region (e.g., antenna/scattering) problems, while FEM is an excellent choice for modeling of closed-region (e.g., waveguide/cavity) problems. Finally, PO is extremely cost effective for structures that include electrically very large surfaces with slowly varying currents, especially when hybridized with MoM.","PeriodicalId":6305,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Topical Conference on Wireless Communication Technology","volume":"90 1","pages":"229-232"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74966629","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 has been successfully applied to multiuser detection for a direct sequence code-division multiple access (CDMA) system even when multipath channel is unknown. Its applicability in multiple access ultra-wideband (UWB) systems is investigated in this paper. First, similarities between a time-hopping (TH) UWB system using pulse position modulation (PPM) and a multirate CDMA system are explored where a code matrix for each user can be defined based on its unique TH sequence, similar to a spreading code matrix in a CDMA system. Meanwhile, modulation delays are transformed to amplitudes of pulses, yielding a virtually linear model. After following MV optimization procedures, the desired signal can be detected from outputs of a bank of receivers.","PeriodicalId":6305,"journal":{"name":"2003 IEEE Topical Conference on Wireless Communication Technology","volume":"15 1","pages":"453-454"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2003-10-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81921601","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}
