In this paper a new UWB textile slot antenna has been designed with high precision. This work aimed to makecloser steps towards real wearability by investigating the possibilities of designing wearable UWB antenna wheretextile materials are used for the substrate as well as the conducting parts of the designed antenna. The antenna iscomposed of three textile layers: the top and bottom are condu...

This paper presents a review of Ultra Wide Band (UWB) communication system and its application for the indoor environment, in general, and in underground mine environment.

This paper evaluates the level of interference caused by different ultra-wideband (UWB) signals to other various radio systems, as well as the performance degradation of UWB systems in the presence of narrowband interference and pulsed jamming. The in-band interference caused by a selection of UWB signals is calculated at GSM900, UMTS/wideband code-division multiple-access (WCDMA), and global p...

Multiband Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (MB-OFDM) approach using UWB signals with short duration of pulses provide unique advantages in short-range high data rate wireless applications which include easy penetration through obstacles, high precision ranging and low processing power. In this paper a performance study on MB-OFDM is attempted for high data rate ultra wideband (UWB) WP...

This paper presents a tightly-coupled integration of GPS observations and ultra-wideband ranges that accounts for systematic UWB errors in real-time using additional error states to augment an extended Kalman filter. Results of range measurements obtained using commercially available UWB radios in optimal line-of-sight conditions are compared to surveyed ranges using conventional methods to ass...

In this paper, we present the design of complex Ultra-wideband (UWB) pulses which enables the phase-shift keying (PSK) modulation for UWB Impulse Radio (IR) Communications. Two classes of complex UWB pulses are proposed based on complex Gaussian wavelets and complex rational orthogonal wavelets respectively. Formulas in closed form are derived for a full control of the time and frequency proper...

Where, C is the channel capacity, BW is the bandwidth, SNR is the ratio of average received signal power to the noise spectral density. It can be seen from (1), channel capacity increases linearly with bandwidth but only logarithmically with SNR which means capacity increases as a function of BW faster than as a function of SNR and with a wide bandwidth, high data rate can be achieved with a lo...

The usage of ultra-wideband (UWB) technology is growing in many communication systems such as radar systems, communication and measurement systems and imaging systems mainly because unlike the other wireless technologies UWB is not restricted to using a narrow waveband and it has high speed data rate. The large transmission bandwidth makes UWB-based electronic device resistive to interferences ...

Ultra Wide Bandwidth (UWB) techniques are getting an increased importance due to their many features such as high bit rates availability, low power consumption and location capabilities. UWB technology enables the development of advanced wireless local area networks providing integrated multimedia services to nomadic users over hot-spot areas. The assessment of the possible interference caused ...

A novel transceiver design for ultra wideband (UWB) communication systems using the channel phase precoding (CPP) technique is proposed in this work. With the CPP-UWB transceiver, we encode data symbols using the reversed order of the channel phase. A simple phase estimation algorithm is presented for the CPP-UWB implementation. Owing to its ability to coherently combine the channel magnitude o...
