This work is an exploration of the impact of interferers on an ultrawideband (UWB) transmitterreceiver link. Both narrowband and wideband (specifically, UWB) interference is considered. Two physical layer models are built and simulated. The performance metric is the link’s bit error rate (BER). For both the narrowband and UWB interferer models, the dependence of the BER on the power of the inte...

The Ultra-WideBand (UWB) technique, which offers good energy efficiency, flexible data rate, and high ranging accuracy, has recently been recognized as a revived wireless technology for short distance communication. This paper presents brief overview of two UWB techniques, covering Impulse-Radio (IR-UWB) Frequency-Modulation (FM-UWB) methods. link margin enhancement Very-WideBand (VWB), power c...

In some GPS failure conditions, positioning for mobile target is difficult. This paper proposed a new method based on INS/UWB for attitude angle and position synchronous tracking of indoor carrier. Firstly, error model of INS/UWB integrated system is built, including error equation of INS and UWB. And combined filtering model of INS/UWB is researched. Simulation results show that the two subsys...

This paper describes the analysis of UWB interference on WiMax systems. Co-existence between these two systems is important due to unlicensed use of 3.1 to 10.6 GHz frequency band by UWB. The interference impact of UWB devices entirely depends on the victim receiver characteristics. From the knowledge of noise density and allowable maximum noise raise in WiMax receiver, maximum permissible inte...

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...

The Ultra Wide Band (UWB) is a promising indoor positioning sensor. Its precise range measurement and wall penetration capability are well suited for indoor navigation. UWB anchor locations must also be carefully determined to achieve the optimal performance of a UWB positioning. However, previous approaches on the UWB anchor placement resulted in poor positioning accuracy around corners of an ...

Reconfigurable antennas have been widely employed for beam scanning in recent years. However, such are usually limited by narrow bandwidth. To overcome this challenge, we present a linearly polarized 2-bit ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna array C-band. The consists of 16 Vivaldi elements, wideband phase shifters and feeding network. structural symmetry is to provide couple opposite states the broad...

In modern short range wireless applications, RF, Bluetooth and UWB communication schemes are recommended with respect to power consumption, low/high data rates and location capability. Though special bandwidth is not allocated to UWB, coexistence of such signal in the available RF environment is a critical issue and hence analysis of UWB signal with respect to interference is very much required...
