본 논문에서는 Cellular/GSM800, GSM900, ISM, GPS, DCS/GSM1800, PCS/GSM1900, WCDMA/UMTS/IMT2000, WiBro, WLAN, WiMax의 주파수 대역(0.824~5.85 GHz) 전체를 포함하는 초광대역 시뉴어스 안테나를 제안하였다. 제안한 시뉴어스 안테나는 두 개의 팔(arm)로 이루어져 있으며, 자기상보(self-complementary) 구조로 설계하여 주파수 무관 특성을 나타내도록 하였다. 안테나는 클로펜스타인 테이퍼(Klopfenstein taper) 구조의 광대역 발룬(balun)을 사용하여 $50{\Omega}$에 정합시켰다. 측정 결과, 제안한 안테나의 대역폭은 반사손실 -10 dB를 기준으로 할 때 0.76~6 GHz까지 5.24 GHz로, 목표 주파수 대역을 모두 포함하는 것을 확인하였다. 방사패턴은 E-plane과 H-plane 모두에서 전체 동작 주파수 대역에 걸쳐 거의 변화 없이 양방향성 브로드사이드 빔을 보였으며, 최대 이득은 2.32~6.01 dBi로 측정되었다.

유비쿼터스 사회가 도래함에 따라 모든 사회가 무선통신과 밀접한 연관성을 가지게 되었다. 하지만 늘어나는 주파수 수요는 주파수 자원의 고갈을 야기하였다. 이와 같이 주파 주파수 자원의 중요성이 부각되어 주파수 공유 기술이 필요하게 되었다. 제안한 Cognitive UWB 시스템은 넓은 주파수 대역을 사용하는 UWB(Ultra Wideband) 기술과 채널 환경을 인지하여 사용하지 않는 비어있는 주파수 대역을 이용하는 CR(Cognitive Radio) 기술이 합해진 기술이다. 본 논문에서는 Cognitive UWB 시스템의 세부 기술을 설명하고 시뮬레이션을 통하여 원하는 마스크를 충족시키고 타 시스템의 간섭을 회피하여 성능향상을 보였다.

The growing interest towards ultra-wideband (UWB) communications stems from its unique features such as baseband operation, ample multipath diversity, and the potential of enhanced user capacity. But since UWB has to overlay existing narrowband systems, multiple access has to be achieved in the presence of narrowband interference (NBI). However, existing baseband spreading codes for UWB multiple access are not flexible in handling NBI. In this paper, we introduce two novel spreading codes that not only enable baseband UWB multiple access, but also facilitate flexible NBI cancellation. We construct our codes using a single carrier or multiple carriers (SC or MC), which can be implemented with standard discrete-cosine transform (DCT) circuits. With our SC/MC codes, NBI can be avoided by simply nulling undesired digital carriers. Being digital, these SC/MC codes give rise to multiband UWB systems, without invoking analog carriers. In addition, our SC/MC codes enable full multipath diversity, and maximum coding gains. Equally attractive is their capability to reduce the number of interfering users, with simple matched filter operations. Comprehensive simulations are also carried out to corroborate our analysis.

This paper investigates the performance of M-ary pulse position modulation (PPM) multiuser ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems in terms of symbol error rate (SER) over fading and additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel. Based on Gaussian approximation for the multiple access interference, an expression for the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is derived for the UWB system. This expression is used to derive exact SER expressions for coherent UWB receivers. The effect of pulse selection on the SER of multiuser UWB system is studied. In addition to rectangular pulse, the 2nd derivative Gaussian waveform and Rayleigh pulses were considered. We show that the system capacity and/or SER performance can be significantly increased by using the monocycle pulse in fading channels.

Orthogonal pulse-shape modulation using Hermite pulses for ultra-wideband communications is reviewed. Closedform expressions of cross-correlations among Hermite pulses and their corresponding transmit and receive waveforms are provided. These show that the pulses lose orthogonality at the receiver in the presence of differentiating antennas. Using these expressions, an algebraic model is established based on the projections of distorted receive waveforms onto the orthonormal basis given by the set of normalized orthogonal Hermite pulses. Using this new matrix model, a number of pulse-shape modulation schemes are analyzed and a novel orthogonal design is proposed. In the proposed orthogonal design, transmit waveforms are constructed as combinations of elementary Hermites with weighting coefficients derived by employing the Gram-Schmidt (QR) factorization of the differentiating distortion model’s matrix. The design ensures orthogonality of the vectors at the output of the receiver bank of correlators, without requiring compensation for the distortion introduced by the antennas. In addition, a new set of elementary Hermite Pulses is proposed which further enhances the performance of the new design while enabling a simplified hardware implementation.

Although asymptotic bounds of wireless network capacity have been heavily pursued, the answers to the following questions are still critical for network planning, protocol and architecture design: Given a three-dimensional (3D) network space with the number of active users randomly located in the space and using the wireless communication technology, what are the expected per-flow throughput, network capacity, and network transport capacity? In addition, how can the protocol parameters be tuned to enhance network performance? In this paper, we focus on the ultra wideband (UWB) based wireless personal area networks (WPANs) and provide answers to these questions, considering the salient features of UWB communications, i.e., low transmission/interference power level, accurate ranging capability, etc. Specifically, we demonstrate how to explore the spatial multiplexing gain of UWB networks by allowing appropriate concurrent transmissions. Given 3D space and the number of active users, we derive the expected number of concurrent transmissions, network capacity and transport capacity of the UWB network. The results reveal the main factors affecting network (transport) capacity, and how to determine the best protocol parameters, e.g., exclusive region size, in order to maximize the capacity. Extensive simulation results are given to validate the analytical results.

본 논문에서는 고정밀 차량위치 추적 기반의 교통신호등 제어를 위한 저전송율 초광대역 무선통신 시스템에서의 Ultra Fast Acquisition 알고리즘을 연구하였다. 현재 CDMA에서 사용되는 acquisition방식으로는 저전송율 UWB시스템에서 회로가 복잡해지고 빠른 acquisition을 기대할 수 없기 때문에 새로운 Ultra Fast Acquisition방식이 필요하다. 기본적으로 Sequential Estimation방식을 사용하며 trinomial m-시퀀스를 사용하여 유비쿼터스 센서 네트워크용 U시스템에서 long PN code를 사용하는 경우에도 회로의 복잡도를 줄이고 FCC Emission limit을 만족시키면서, $1\~3{\mu}sec$이내의 acquisition을 가능하도록 설계하였다.

In this paper, a planar half-circle shape ultra-wideband(UWB) antenna fed by CPW is designed, fabricated and measured for UWB communications. Within the UWB band(3.1 GHz $\sim$ 10.6 GHz), 5.15 GHz $\sim$ 5.825 GHz frequency band is used by IEEE 802.lla WLAN applications. It may be necessary to notch out this band to avoid interference with IEEE 802.lla WLAN. Therefore, we have proposed three kinds of UWB antennas having a notch function, such as a rectangular slot, a hat-shaped slot, a circle-shaped slot. The notch frequency of the proposed antenna can be adjusted by controlling the slot length or slot width. From the measured results, the proposed antennas show a good gain flatness except the IEEE 802.lla WLAN frequency band and have a reasonable agreement with simulated results.
