Recently, ultra-wideband (UWB) technology based on the transmission of short duration pulses has gained much interest for its application to wireless communications. UWB small scale channel modeling work, including statistical characterization and potential models, are discussed. The significance, in terms of performance, of the channel impulse response model chosen for the simulation of UWB co...

This paper introduces wideband low noise amplifier design for Long Term Evolution systems. The three-stage, cascade wideband low noise amplifier structure will be presented. The low noise amplifier (LNA) is design for uplink channels for LTE systems. The LNA is designed for LTE receiver front-end which operates in 700-1300 MHz frequency range, covering almost entire LTE uplink frequency band. W...

in this paper, a novel time-varying channel estimation approach based on Kalman filter compressive sensing is proposed for the high sampling problem of ultra wideband (UWB) system considering the sparse of the channel impulse response. The direct sequence UWB signal is formulated to the mathematical model of compressed sensing after down sampling. The receiver recovery the channel impulse respo...

In this paper, a wideband electronic beamforming concept applicable for UWB short pulse systems is derived and experimentally demonstrated. In particular, a Finite Impulse Response (FIR)-filter based beamforming network is configured such that an antenna array yields a desired radiation pattern within a predefined frequency range. An experimental verification of a wideband transmission system i...

The realization of Software Defined Radio (SDR) requires flexible RF front-end to accommodate multiple standards in different frequency bands. In this review paper, we survey the literature over the period 1995–2011 and discuss the state-of-the-art multiband and wideband LNAs in context of different receiver architectures suitable for SDR. Wideband and multiband LNA designs reported in open lit...

The Impulse Radio based Ultra Wideband (IR-UWB) system transmits data by sending pulses, each with very small time duration followed by pauses that are approximately two hundred times that length. Rake receiver improves system performance by equalizing signals from different paths. This enables the use of Rake receiver techniques in UWB systems. For high data rate ultra-wideband communication s...

This paper presents a method for system architecture modeling of an IR-UWB (Impulse Radio Ultra WideBand) receiver for sensors networks applications. We expose the way for designing an FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) receiver starting from a previous study based on system modeling on Matlab. The proposed receiver architecture is first designed and validated on Matlab, before being implemen...

RAKE receiver is used in CDMA-based (Code Division Multiple Access) systems and can combine multipath components, which are time-delayed versions of the original signal transmission. Combining is done in order to improve the signal to noise ration at the receiver. RAKE receiver attempts to collect the time-shifted versions of the original signal by providing a separate correlation receiver for ...

Herein, results of 5.2 GHz wideband indoor multiple input multiple output (MIMO) channel measurements under the EU IST SATURN project are reported. Our investigation shows that for non-line-of-sight (NLOS) cases, the average power delay profiles fit the exponentially decaying curve quite well, therefore a simple wideband model for singleinput single-output (SISO) proposed in COST259 has been us...

This paper describes the design of wideband low noise amplifier (LNA) for Motorola application which targeted to be applied in two-way communication mobile system architecture. The technical specification was deduced from the TIA-603C standard receiver system sensitivity and intermodulation. The proposed LNA exhibit low power consumption and adopts a negative feedback wideband amplifier topolog...
