In this paper, Ultra-wideband (UWB) multiple access relay channel with correlated noises at the relay and receiver is investigated. We obtain outer and inner bounds for the IEEE 802.15.3a UWB multiple access relay channel, and also, a diversity gain bound. Finally, we evaluate some results numerically and show that noise correlation coefficients play important role in determining relay position.

A compact and sharp-rejection ultra-wideband (UWB) microstrip band-pass filter (BPF) is developed using of left handed metamaterials realized by complementary split ring resonator (CSRR). Moreover, proposed structure consists of two doublets parallel coupling gaps at each side of a microstrip ring. In comparison with some other filters, this structure shows a significantly wider passband due to...

After a very short introduction to the history and theory of ultra wideband technology, we describe the current state-of-the-art (within the United States) in this emerging field by way of examples of recently fielded UWB hardware and equipment. Multispectral Solutions, Inc. (MSSI) is a pioneer and an established industry leader in the development of ultra wideband systems and has been actively...

In this paper, we propose various defected ground structures (DGS) for improving the return loss and impedance bandwidth of an ultra wideband antenna. A comparative parametric analysis has been made on the basis of return loss, gain, radiation pattern characteristics and impedance bandwidth. Simulation results are analyzed and presented for an ultra wideband antenna with four slots in its radia...

With the ambitious aim to exploit the specific advantages of ultra-wideband (UWB) radio sensors for medical applications the project ultraMEDIS has been designed. The project focuses on the combination of UWB radar with magnetic resonance imaging, UWB radar based breast cancer detection, identification of various physiological signatures and the development of appropriate UWB antennas to accomp...

An ultra-wideband unequal-split Wilkinson power divider with a 2:1 split ratio is presented. To achieve the ultra-wideband characteristics, the conventional quarter-wave arms of the divider are replaced by tapered lines. Moreover, two extra tapered transformers are incorporated at the output ports for matching purposes as the designed divider is of an unequal-split type. To obtain good isolatio...

As we know that the conventional filter synthesis procedure is adequate only for the relatively narrow band filters and is not suitable for the Wideband and Ultra wideband filters .Therefore we are intend to design a Ultra Wideband filter. In this study a compact Ultra Wide Band pass filter consisting of quarter wave resonant conductor like micro strip lines is proposed to design. We have to in...

In this paper, an ultra-wideband and polarization-independent metasurface for radar cross section (RCS) reduction is proposed. The unit cell of the metasurface operates in a linear cross-polarization scheme in a broad band. The phase and amplitude of cross-polarized reflection can be separately controlled by its geometry and rotation angle. Based on the diffuse reflection theory, a 3-bit coding...

Wireless location system based on UWB signals has been widely utilized by wireless network recently, especially for the indoor scenarios where GPS signal has been heavily attenuated. However, due to the requirement of ultra wideband signals, existing location system usually faces problems including complexity, robust and cost, which limit the potential applications. In this study, we propose a ...
