In this paper, a method of ISAR geometric calibration is represented by using impulse-radio UWB radar. The ir-UWB is good for using a signal processing in time domain, so, it does not occur a multi-path or coupling problem. If a signal that between antennas and target is assumed a plane wave, a center of rotation in ISAR geometry model can be estimated by using point target. Before image is reconstructed with sinogram, the center of rotation can be calculated by using least square fitting. This method can be obtained a more contrast image, and a maximum value of entropy of image. The method, that estimates a center of rotation in received data, will be used a initial setup of instruments or a periodic compensation to reconstruct image. It would be useful in medical, security and surveillance imaging equipments that have a fixed geometry.

Impulse radio (IR) is a competitive candidate for ultra-wideband (UWB) systems. In this letter, we evaluated the coexistence of an IR-UWB system based on an orthogonal sinusoidal correlation receiver (OSCR) with an IEEE 802.11a WLAN through a detailed simulation. The coexistence performance of the two systems is characterized in terms of the receiver's bit-error rates. Then, some approaches to interference mitigation are discussed.

In this paper, we analyze the performance of UWB(Ultra-WideBand) communication system employing Bi-phase modulation and RAKE Receiver under the MAI(Multiple Access Interference) and the OSI(Other System Interference) environment. Using the multi-path channel model recommended by IEEE P802.15.TG3a, the performance degradation Is described with the number of users, the number of RAKE fingers and training sequences. To meet BER 10e-4 for 20 users at the same time, the number of RAKE fingers are proposed from 3 to 32. And the number of training sequences are limited less than 8 to keep the channel estimation error within 3dB

In this paper, We applied CCI canceller to remove multi-user interference in co-channel environment and improved performance of TH PPM UWB-IR system. As a result, We could get reception performance that data transmission of high speed is available in small reception power applying CCI canceller. Also, We could get permission available channel capacity to maximum access number 40 in high speed transmission environment more than 100Mbps.

본 논문은 주파수 영역과 시간 영역에서 초광대역 (Ultra Wideband UWB) 안테나의 임펄스 응답 특성을 고려한 채널측정 연구에 대해 발표하고자 한다. 임펄스 전파 채널 측정을 위해 UWB conical monopole 안테나를 설계하였고, 설계한 안테나의 임펄스 응답을 도출하였다. 안테나의 특성이 임펄스 전파 채널측정에 주는 영향을 무반향 반사실에서 다중경로 환경과 무반사 환경을 구현하여 측정하였다. 측정을 통하여 안테나의 dispersive한 특성과 ringing이 임펄스 전파 채널에 영향을 미침을 확인했고, 이러한 결과를 바탕으로 정확한 임펄스 채널 측정을 위해 사용한 UWB 안테나의 특성을 고려해야 함을 확인하였다.

We aim at frequency offset estimation for IEEE 802.15.4a ranging systems, where an impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) signal is exploited, By incorporating the property of the ternary code in the preamble, we derive a simplified maximum-likelihood (ML) estimation of the frequency offset. In addition, a closed form estimator for implementation is investigated. Simulation results and theoretical analysis verify our estimators in IEEE 802.15.4a IR-UWB packet-based ranging systems.

In this paper, we propose and analyze M-ary pulse order time hopping multiple access ultra wideband (PO-THMA UWB) system using modified Hermite polynomial (MHP). The MHP pulses have a mutually orthogonal property between different ordered pulses and that property makes simultaneous transmission at the same time slot regardless of collision in the THMA-UWB system. Therefore, we derive the cross-correlation furlction of MHP pulses and analyze the BER of the proposed system and show that the BER performance and the transmission capacity are improved dramatically when compared with those of conventional THMA-UWB system.

본 논문에서는 UWB/TH(Ultra Wideband/Time Hopping：이하 Impulse Radio) 시스템을 의사 잡음 부호 발생기에 의해 생성된 시간 도약 패턴을 사용하여 시간 영역에서 다인 접속 간섭이 배제되는 경우에 대해 동일 주파수 대역을 사용하는 기존 시스템에 의한 간섭 발생시 IR 시스템의 성능을 분석하였다. 간섭 점유율이 0.1 이하인 경우는 5GHz 대역에서 ISM 대역의 80MHz 대역폭이나 802.11a의 사용대역폭 20MHZ와 같은 IR(Impulse Radio) 시스템에 비해 매우 협소한 대역을 사용하는 경우로써 향후 5-10GHz 대역에서 공유되는 IR 시스템에서 간섭으로 영향을 미칠 경우를 상정하여 분석하였다. 결과에 의하면, IR 전체 대역폭에서 간섭 점유율이 클수록 시스템 성능이 크게 열화되고 부분대역 간섭 자체가 시스템 성능을 크게 열화 시킴을 알 수 있었다. SIR 30dB 이하에서 간섭 점유율이 0.1 이상 일 때는 SIR이 증가할수록 성능 향상폭이 커지지만 점유율이 0.1 이하에서는 l$\times$10­$^1$1이하의 성능개선이 이루어지고 30dB 이상에서는 일정 성능을 유지함을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 간섭 전력의 증가면에서는 간섭 점유율이 적을수록 거의 영향이 미치지 않았다. 따라서, IR시스템에서는 간섭의 전력면 보다는 간섭의 점유 대역폭에 따라서 성능 열화가 크게 나타남을 알 수 있었다.

UWB impulse radio signals have an very short duration, extremely wide bandwidth and share the same frequency spectrum with other existing systems. It was determined by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that UWB systems could cause interference with other systems, such as Global Positioning System (GPS) for example. Therefore, at present. the FCC has restricted the use of UWB systems to frequencies above 3.1㎓. In this paper, We evaluated performance of UWB system using proposed pulses in ［1］［2］ that are strictly limited in time to remove interference while, at the same time, contain their power distribution to a frequency band from 3.1㎓ to 10.6㎓. In particular, We evaluated the BER Performance in relation to system parameters such as pulse duration. $\delta$, the number of users. Nu. and the number of symbols, M. We found the optimal pulse duration $\delta$ through computer simulation using developed UWB pulses in ［1］［2］. It is shown that performance evaluation between the UWB communication system using these UWB pulses ［1］［2］and the Gaussian monocycle pulse in M-ary PPM and BPSK schemes. These results can be contributed to construct M-ary PPM UWB communication system in terms of multiuser parameters and pulse duration.

This paper addresses the problem of joint time of arrival (TOA) and direction of arrival (DOA) estimation in impulse radio ultra-wideband systems with a two-antenna receiver and links the joint estimation of TOA and DOA to the sparse representation framework. Exploiting this link, an orthogonal matching pursuit algorithm is used for TOA estimation in the two antennas, and then the DOA parameters are estimated via the difference in the TOAs between the two antennas. The proposed algorithm can work well with a single measurement vector and can pair TOA and DOA parameters. Furthermore, it has better parameter-estimation performance than traditional propagator methods, such as, estimation of signal parameters via rotational invariance techniques algorithms matrix pencil algorithms, and other new joint-estimation schemes, with one single snapshot. The simulation results verify the usefulness of the proposed algorithm.
