Abstract

In this paper, we proposed a new algorithm of pulse generation and detection for the UWB multimedia communication system. The existing UWB systems using Gaussian pulse have some difficulties to cope with bandwidth limitation and frequency transition. In this paper, we introduce a new pulse generation method, which is able to control the bandwidth and center frequency that applies to the frequency modulation method, thus the proposed algorithm could improve the detection performance of receiving. And we proposed the multi channel transmission algorithm which transmits 1 channel synthesized at same time using the wavelet synthesis filter. Because of wavelet filter's perfect reconstruction property, the BER(Bit Error Rate) of transmission data is not changed by the number of accessed user. BER is changed only the property of channel transmission. By the results of simulation, when shift SNR from 2dB to 8dB on AWGN channel, we confirmed that the proposed algerian has $3.9063{\times}10^{-4}$ BER at 4dB SNR(AWGN channel).

본 논문에서는 UWB 멀티미디어 통신 시스템을 위한 새로운 펄스 생성과 검출 알고리즘을 제안한다. 현재 가우시안 펄스를 사용하고 있는 UWB 시스템은 주파수 대역의 한계와 주파수 시프트 등의 문제점을 가지고 있으며, 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 중심 주파수와 주파수대역을 제어할 수 있는 변조 방법을 적용하여 전송 신호의 검출 성능을 향상 시켰다. 그리고, 웨이블렛 합성 필터를 사용하여 여러개의 전송 채널을 합성시켜 1개의 전송 채널로 전송 시킬 수 있는 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 웨이블렛 필터의 perfect reconstruction 특성 때문에 접속자의 수에 따라 비트에러율(BER)이 변화하지 않고 채널의 전송 특성에 따라 전송 데이터의 BER 특성이 변화한다. 본 논문에서 AWGN 채널 상에서 2dB부터 8dB까지 2dB씩 변화시켜 가며 실험한 결과, AWGN 채널의 SNR이 4dB일 때 BER는 $3.9063{\times}10-4$ 을 가짐을 확인할 수 있었다.
