This paper presents a novel ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna that rejects narrow and broad bands and is suitable for wireless communications. The base of the proposed antenna has a circular patch that can cover the UWB frequency range (3.1~10.6 GHz). The interference issues caused by co-existence within the UWB operation frequency are overcome by a design that uses a parallel-coupled asymmetric dual-line with a circular monopole antenna. The proposed antenna showed a stable radiation pattern, realized gain and reflection coefficient lower than -10 dB across the UWB operation bandwidth except for 5.15~5.85 GHz and 7.25~8.4 GHz. The fabrication, simulation, and measurement results obtained for the proposed antenna were in good agreement with the expected values.

In a continuously expanding wireless world, the number of radio systems increases every day and efficient spectrum usage becomes a more significant requirement. Ultra-wideband (UWB) and cognitive radio are two exciting technologies that offer new approaches to the spectrum usage. The main objective of this paper is to shed the first light on the marriage of these two important approaches. The strength of orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) based UWB in co-existing with licensed systems is investigated. The opportunity concept is defined, and the requirements of the opportunistic spectrum usage are explained. It is proposed to take the UWB-OFDM from the current underlay implementation, and evolve it to a combined underlay and opportunistic spectrum usage technology, leading to cognitive UWB-OFDM. This way, we aim at making UWB more competitive in the wireless market with extended range, higher capacity, better performance, and a wide variety of applications.

초광대역 (UWB) 신호의 정밀한 시간 해상도는 실내 환경에서의 위치추적 등, 다양한 응용을 가능하게 하는 동시에, 사간 오차에 대한 감도가 매우 높아지는 등, 시스템 설계 시 기술적 어려움을 주기도 한다. 신호의 시간 해상도를 평가하는 유용한 방법 중 하나는 신호의 ambiguity function을 평가하는 것이다. 이 논문에서는 기존의 ambiguity function과는 달리 시간 오차와 시간 스케일링 인자를 두 변수로 하여 펄스 방식의 UWB 신호를 위한 ambiguity function을 정의하였고, 임펄스 라디오 (impulse radio)의 송수신 방식에 따른 UWB ambiguity function을 평가하여 시스템의 타이밍과 관련된 이슈들을 논하였다.

In this paper, two frequency domain signal processing techniques for pulse shape modulation(PSM) ultra wideband(UWB) systems are presented. Firstly, orthogonal detection of UWB PSM Hermite pulses in frequency domain is addressed. It is important because time domain detection by correlation-based receivers is severely degraded by many sources of distortion. Pulse-shape, the information conveying signal characteristic, is deformed by AWGN and shape-destructive addition of multiple paths from the propagation channel. Additionally, because of the short nature of UWB pulses, timing mismatches and synchronism degrade the performance of PSM UWB communication systems. In this paper, frequency domain orthogonality of the Hermite pulses is exploited to propose an alternative detection method, which makes possible efficient detection of PSM in dense multipath channel environments. Secondly, a ranging method employing the Cepstrum algorithm is proposed. This method is partly processed in the frequency domain and can be implemented without additional hardware complexity in the terminal.

본 논문에서는 UWB 통신 시스템에서 사용할 수 있는 CPW 구조를 이용한 새로운 UWB 안테나를 설계 제작하고 측정하였다. 제안된 안테나는 CST사의 Microwave Studio를 사용하여 설계하였다. 기판은 두께가 0.762 mm이며 유전율이 4.5인 TMM4 기판을 사용하였다.안테나는 VSWR$\leq$2를 기준으로 3.1 GHz에서 11.5 GHz까지 UWB 통신 대역을 만족하며, 사각 슬롯을 이용하여 IEEE 802.1la주파수 대역(5.15GHz$\~$5.825GHz)은 차단하였다. 측정결과, 안테나의 그룹딜레이 변화량은 1 ns 미만으로 UWB 통신 시스템에 적합한 안테나이다.

In this paper, two sets of spectrally efficient ultra-wideband (UWB) pulses using zinc and frequency-domain Walsh basis functions are proposed. These signals comply with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) regulations for UWB indoor communications within the stipulated bandwidth of 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz. They also demonstrate high energy spectral efficiency by conforming more closely to the FCC mask than other UWB signals described in the literature. The performance of these pulses under various modulation techniques is discussed in this paper, and the proposed pulses are compared with Gaussian monocycles in terms of spectral efficiency, autocorrelation, crosscorrelation, and bit error rate performance.

In this paper, we have analyzed the effect of interference between ultra-wideband(UWB) and intelligent transport systems(ITS). The maximum possible UWB emission power and minimum possible distance between UWB devices and ITS are found. In order to analyze the interference, we employ the Monte-Carlo(MC) method. We consider six situations, which are indoor office line-of-sight(LOS), indoor office non-line-of-sight(NLOS), indoor residential LOS, indoor residential NLOS, outdoor rural LOS, and outdoor rural NLOS environments. From the simulation results, it is confirmed that coexistence between UWB and ITS devices can be realized in accordance with the emission mask of 19.3 dB for indoor application or 19.3 dB for an image system. And in the outdoors, coexistence between UWB and ITS devices can be realized if the emission mask is at least 1.6 dB for vehicles' radar systems.
