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 ...

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...

The recent surge in the demand for low power portable wireless electronics that can offer extremely high data rates has resulted in much active research in Ultra-Wideband (UWB) systems. UWB is widely recognized as a promising technology for high data rate, short-range applications with precise time resolution and high energy efficiency. All these benefits originate from the wideband characteris...

For lack of empty radio bands, ultra-wideband (UWB) radio that allows the reuse of already occupied frequency bands is the only solution to accommodate new wireless data communication services. The recovery of the very short and extremely wideband wavelets used in UWB radio is not feasible. This is why noncoherent demodulation techniques have to be used. Introducing a general model for the nonc...

There exist a lot of methods for vision through an opaque medium. At present UWB (Ultra-Wideband) technology is used more and more because it is suitable for localization and detection of a human body behind a wall. First of all this paper describes known methods for vision through walls, which can be divided into two general groups imaging and non-imaging systems. Secondly it describes the sta...

In this letter, we propose a multi-user detection scheme based on a hidden training sequence for DS-UWB systems. The hidden training sequence, which uses a fraction of the informative sequence’s transmitting power as training information, is utilized for the receiver filter adaptation and channel estimation. By using this, the proposed scheme offers increased bandwidth efficiency (no period ded...

With the beginning of the new information era, necessity of wideband wireless communica‐ tions technology is increasing rapidly due to the need to support more users and to provide information with higher data transmitting rates. Ultra-wideband (UWB) technology could be the most suitable technologies that promise to revolutionize high data rate transmission and enable the personal area networki...

In this paper, a new Ultra Wideband (UWB) channel estimation algorithm, UWB-SAGE (Space Alternating Generalized Expectation Maximization) is proposed. This algorithm is an extension of conventional SAGE algorithm which is often adopted for wideband channel estimation. The algorithm divides the measured data into individual ray paths and estimates the directions of arrival, propagation time, and...
