UWB Signaling:

Page 9: SDR and UWB

Impulse Radio:

• Pulse shapes : Gaussian , Hermetian families

Page 10: SDR and UWB

UWB Advantages:

• Ability to share the frequency spectrum

• coexistence of UWB signals with narrowband and wideband signals in the RF spectrum

• Large channel capacity

Page 11: SDR and UWB

UWB Advantages:

• Ability to work with low SNRs

• the shannon formula indicates that the channel capacity is only logarithmically dependent on SNR.

• Low probability of intercept or detection

• because of their low average transmission power , UWB systems have an inherent immunity to detection and interception.

• Resistance to jamming

• no jammer can jam every frequency in the UWB spectrum at once.

Page 12: SDR and UWB

UWB Advantages:

• High performance in multipath channel

Page 13: SDR and UWB

UWB Advantages:

• Superior penetration properties

• the low frequencies included in the broad range of UWB frequency spectrum have long wavelength, which allows UWB signals to penetrate a variety of materials.

• Simple tranceiver architecture

Page 14: SDR and UWB

UWB Challenges:

• Pulse shape distortion

• Channel estimation

• the received signal power will decrease quadratically.

• High-frequency synchronization

• very fast ADCs required.

• Short range

• low transmission power.

Page 15: SDR and UWB

UWB Challenges:

• Multiple access interference

• detecting the desired user’s information is more challenging than in narrowband communication.

Page 16: SDR and UWB

UWB Applications:

• Wireless communication systems

• Home networking / PAN

• Roadside info-station • Military communications

• Short range radios

• Wireless sensor networks

• High-resolution RADAR and sensing

• vehicle RADAR • see-through-the-wall (police,fire,rescue)

• Medical imaging • Ground penetrating RADAR

• Surveillance

• Location finding

• RFID• Position location

Page 17: SDR and UWB

Modulation Types:

• Time-Hopping PPM

• Single-carrier-Based Modulation :

• Amplitude Modulation

• Orthogonal Pulse Modulation (OPM)

• Pseudochaotic TH-PPM

Page 18: SDR and UWB

Modulation Types:

• OFDM-Based Modulation :

• The UWB frequency band is divided into multiple smaller bands with bandwidths greater than 500 MHz.

Page 19: SDR and UWB

Multiple Access:

• FDMA :

• Smaller bands must be greater than 500 MHz.

• TDMA :

• CDMA

• OPMA (Orthogonal Pulse Multiple Access)

• Synchronization becomes more difficult and complicate.

-The multiple access channel will achieve full user capacity when the number of users Nu < 15, and when the number of users is greater, user capacity will

decrease.

IEEE 802.15.3a:

•March 2003: more than 30 proposals were submitted to TG3a •7 proposals was chosen initially

•After “down selection procedure”, 2 merged proposals left:

Direct Sequence Ultra Wideband (DS – UWB)&

Multi-Band OFDM (MB-OFDM)

Overview of Proposals:

Page 27: SDR and UWB

SDR and UWB:

1 ) Reduce the development cycle and time-to-market

• Benefits of SDR for UWB :

2 ) As UWB aims at answering many needs, it may also be implemented in many flavors. Hence it would naturally gain a great benefit in supporting SDR features .

3 ) The SDR approach may also be a catalyst for new ideas and applications around UWB, thanks to its intrinsic scalability and mutability properties. At least could it permit to provide systems with adaptability features .

Page 28: SDR and UWB

4 ) DS-CDMA and OFDM are sources of strong oppositions and SDR is foreseen as a solution to accommodate the different proposals . It might not make those different systems compatible, but could at least make them co-exist on the same hardware.

SDR and UWB:

• Benefits of SDR for UWB :

5 ) Ad-hoc networking is also considered as one of UWB's great impacts. In this context, UWB systems could be adapted to support some network responsibilities through SDR techniques. Each corresponding configuration could be directly dimensioned depending on the context of ad-hoc networking really needed. This is more flexible than preinstalled general purpose configurations that are either overdimensioned or too weak.

Page 29: SDR and UWB

3 ) Cost

SDR and UWB:

• Challenges of SDR for UWB :

2 ) Power consumption

1 ) Large bandwidths which demands very high sampling rates .

Page 30: SDR and UWB

SDR and UWB:

• Necessity to reorient SDR for UWB :

• Using the SDR analog front-end to do as much of the processing a possible so a narrower bandwidth digitization becomes possible

• Digitalizing the bandwidths of several GHz results extra cost .

Page 31: SDR and UWB

SDR and UWB:

• Necessity to reorient SDR for UWB :

- Passive analog front-end (low cost and low power consumption).

- Easy-to-integrate.

- Pre-processing that only extracts the necessary metrics.

- Adequate bandwidth for low-cost ADCs and realistic digital processing speed.

- Relaxed synchronization means.

- Multiple usage of the same RF front-end output for several applications managed by SDR.

- Multiband support for high data rates (each band having convenient characteristics for SDR capabilities) in a way that allows for parallelization of the subsequent digital processing.

Page 32: SDR and UWB

SDR and UWB:

• Non-coherent elementary receiver :

thus a receiver working as an energy detector, information is preferably carriedby signal amplitude rather than its phase.

it leads us to consider pulse amplitude modulation (such as OOK).

• Relaxed channel estimation • Suitable signal processing• Simple hardware architecture• Only approximate delay spread and energy levels are needed

Page 33: SDR and UWB

SDR UWB solution:

• General points :

• To increase the system capacity while preserving these properties, we propose to duplicate this basic scheme on several separate subbands (in practice from eight to 24 bands of 250 to 500 MHz each). • Each band must only keep sufficient wideband characteristics to provide the receiver with enough multipath to benefit from the diversity offered by the channel .• only a coarse synchronization is needed (an error of 2 ns << Ti = 40 ns is acceptable), which makes the system robust against the clock jitter and every triggering inaccuracy.

• Because the processing is based on energy, the transceiver performances are nearly insensitive to distortion and phase non-linearities of device.

• low-power consumption is achieved, thanks to the use of mainly analog and passive devices.

Page 34: SDR and UWB

SDR UWB solution:

• Transmitter :

Bank of filter

Bank of local oscillator (coherence is not required)

• An interesting feature to notice here is that the architecture permits a simple power control in each sub-band. This kind of flexibility can be useful to fulfill a regional power spectral density mask .

Page 35: SDR and UWB

SDR UWB solution:

• Transmitter :

All the components requires are available on the shelves.

We have two problems : 1 -Wideband antenna

2 -Insertion loss of switches

Page 36: SDR and UWB

SDR UWB solution:

• Receiver :

• The integrators have to be able to integrate these signals over a time period of 10 to 50 ns.

• With advances in process technology, it is possible to integrate both these functions on a single chip.

Page 37: SDR and UWB

SDR UWB solution:

• Results :

• As a conclusion, the proposed architecture for high data rates only requires a simultaneous digitization on each sub-band (24 as an example) at a rate of a several tens of megahertz

with a resolution of one to a few bits.

• Indeed, comparison with coherent systems show that, to compete with our on-off keying scheme, a classical rake receiver for a coherent BPSK should collect up to 40% of the whole available energy. This is challenging due to severe multipath characteristics for

typical UWB impulse radio signals and should hardly be achievable at the same cost of the solution proposed in this article.
