T he earlies t UWB s ys tem, S park-gap trans mitter in 1897 by Gugliermo Marconi UWB as a technology began developing in 1950s Larry F ullerton is the firs t who conceived the idea of UWB in 1973 and founded the T ime Domain Corporation Modern UWB s ys tem, is done at S perry R es earch Center in the 1980s by R os s in 1980s and 1990s the principle of time-domain electromagnetics were applied to wireles s communications

T ime Domain's founder, Larry F ullerton dis covered that s ingle R F monocycles could be trans mitted through an antenna and by precis ely pos itioning thes e monocycles in time and then us ing a matched receiver to recover the trans mis s ions created a whole new wireles s medium. Utilizing narrow Gaus s ian mono-puls es and time hopping s pread the s ignal s pectrum over a wide frequency range Puls e timing within the allotted puls e frame is controlled by a time PN code. T he PN code determines the time bin as s oiated with each puls es niominal time. T ime modulation (T M) is utilized to trans mit each data bit by precis ely controlling the timing of each puls e within its des ignated time bin. T ime hopping s pread the s ignal s pectrum -> R F energy to dis tribute more uniformly acros s the frequency band. -> channelization for multiacces s s ys tems

P rinciple (2)
In traditional fas hion, the communication s ys tem alway us es the s ome frequency band, and the radio s pectrum is divided into band and the channel. and then the s ignal trans mitted in the channel can be tractable, and the s ignal is s aid carrying by the carrier. UWB s ys ytem operates as s pread s pectrum s ys tems : i.e. bandwidth>> minimal effective data rate Very s hort duration of puls e -> T he duration of the puls e is typically s hort that the interval corres ponding to a s ingle bit. UWB does not rely on a s preading s equence or a hopping s equence to produce a wide bandwidth s ignal -> s hort duration of bas ic puls e It has always been pos s ible to generate the s ignal without the carrier. Carrierles s -> Anttena is excited with bas eband s ignal directly.

UWB s ys tems
S ys tem can be des igned with traditional R F principle, with the high attenuation. High carrier freq. >10GHz
F rB<0.25
UWB s ys tem It is difficult tpdes ign the s ys tem with traditional R F principle. lower carrier freq. 2-3GHz
F rB>0.25
F ractional bandwidth (F rB): is the ratio of the bandwidthof a s ignal to the center frequency of trans mis s ion.

S ignals
A general UWB puls e train s ignal cab be pres ented as a s um of puls es s hifted in time:
s (t ) =
k =
p (t t k )
where, s (t) is the UWB s ignal; p(t) is the bas ic puls e s hape; ak and tk are the amplitude and time offs et for each individual puls e. Due to the s hort duration of the puls e, the s pectrum of the UWB s ignal can be s everal gigahertz or more in bandwidth. F CC propos es that UWB s ys tem be permitted to operate on an unlicens ed bas is at extremely low trans mit power levels .

s equence is random and i.i.d. with zero mean, the s pectrum will vanis h. (S pectrum lines will incur the reduction of the total trans mit power.)

where, ak is the data ak {-1,1} and T is the amount of puls e advance or delay in time relative to the reference (unmodulated) pos tion Whenever 1/ is an interger greater that two, then there are no s pectrum lines . OOK: On-off keying PAM: Puls e-amplitude modulation

Modulation (2)
Cons ider the trans mis s ion of a train of puls es equally s paced in time. the receiver proces s ing determines whether each received puls e is located where expected or arrives early or late. With PPM, a s lightly retarted puls e could repres ent a 0 and a s lightly advanced puls e could repres ent a 1 when trans mitting digital information. T he important point in Modulations s election is to cons ider the s pectral properties in order to archieve maximum power efficiency.
i.e. to s elect a power efficient modulation s cheme with a s mooth PS D (power s prectrum dens ity).

UWB has had many properties to reduce the des ign complexity:
No requirement on carrier recovery or frequeny trans lation UWB trans mitter will not require a power amplifier. BPS K mus t us e a coherent demodulation: every puls e looks the s ame out of the envelope detection. Pos s ible to us e the optimal R AKE combining to improve the S /I.

Correlator Output
A correlator is a correlation receiver A correlator multiplies the received R F s ignal with a templete waveform, and then integrates the output of that proces s to yield a s ingle DC voltage. T his multiply-Integrate proces s occurs over the duartion of the puls e Correlator is an optimal earlt/late detector: when the received puls e is of a puls e early, the output is +1 when the received puls e is e of puls e late, the output is -1 when the received puls e arrives centered in the correlation window, the output is 0 T he puls e-integration proces s will pick up the trans mitted s ignal below the nois e floor

Multipath components
One of potential benefits of UWB radio is its multipath res olution. T he multipath components can be dis tinct identified in UWB s ys tem, but may not be res olved in more narrow s ys tem. T raditional s pectrum analyzers cannot be us ed to meas ure the UWB channel res pons e at a meaningful dis tance. A receiver us ing a time modulated ultra-wideband rake receiver concept, s canning receiver, has been deveploing in T imeDomain Ltd. Divers ity is applied for improving the s ys tem performance
