This paper studies the performance degradation of ultra wideband (UWB) radio system in intentionally interfered AWGN channel. Simulated UWB systems utilize pulse shape (PSM), pulse position (PPM) and pulse amplitude (PAM) data modulation schemes. All the modulation schemes are binary. The pulse waveforms used in the study are based on a Gaussian pulse, being its first four derivatives. Interfer...

UWB (Ultra Wide Band) technology is a reliable transmission scheme for wireless communication with high data rates. UWB is defined as signals with fractional band width more than 20% of its central frequency or as signals with bandwidth more than 500MHZ. UWB can be characterized with ultra-short duration pulses called monopulses which has excellent immunity in interference from sensitivity or m...

In this paper, a novel switched-capacitor DC-DC converter with pulse density and width modulation (PDWM) is proposed with reduced output ripple at variable output voltages. While performing pulse density modulation (PDM), the proposed PDWM modulates the pulse width at the same time to reduce the output ripple with high power efficiency. The prototype chip was implemented using 65 nm CMOS proces...

This paper explores how pulse-diverse modulation of an FSK-PSK modulated pulse train enhances exibility to shape the size and distribution of the pulse train's ambiguity volume on the Doppler-delay plane. Pulse-diverse modulation compresses each pulse in the pulse train di erently. Based on a priori information of the relative criticality of various Doppler-delay regions, (e.g., the presence of...

Simplicity, transmission rate, and bit error rate (BER) performance are three major concerns for ultra-wideband (UWB) systems. The main advantage of existing pulse-position modulation (PPM) schemes is simplicity, but their BER performance is poorer than that of an on-off-keying (OOK) modulation scheme, and their transmission rate is lower than that of an OOK scheme. In this research project, I ...

Unfortunately, traditional RF pulse measurements become less effective predictors of performance in radars that use pulse compression. For example, the width of an uncompressed radar pulse is directly related to spatial resolution. In contrast, the resolution depends on pulse width, chirp bandwidth and chirp linearity in a compressed radar system that uses linear frequency modulated (LFM) chirp...

The performance of dual heard pulse interval modulation (DH-PIM) employing least mean square error equaliser (LMSE) in diffuse infrared indoor environment is presented. The work is based on the ceiling bounce channel model and the Monte Carlos simulation. A 3-tap LMSE equaliser is used and results are compared with unequalised DH-PIM and with DH-PIM employing linear zero forcing equaliser (L-ZF...

Human subjects performed step-tracking movements of the wrist in the radial direction. Movement amplitude, external load, and accuracy instructions were varied. We used surface electrodes to record muscle activity from an agonist, extensor carpi radialis longus, and an antagonist, extensor carpi ulnaris. When subjects performed movements “as fast as possible” that were opposed by different exte...
