A Short Delay Relay Scheme Using Shared Frequency Repeater for UWB Impulse Radio Chihong CHO Honggang ZHANG Masao NAKAGAWA Publication IEICE TRANSACTIONS on Fundamentals of Electronics, Communications and Computer Sciences Vol.E90-A No.7 pp.1444-1451 Publication Date: 2007/07/01 Online ISSN: 1745-1337 DOI: 10.1093/ietfec/e90-a.7.1444 Print ISSN: 0916-8508 Type of Manuscript: PAPER Category: Communication Theory and Signals Keyword: ultra wideband, UWB, repeater, pulse-position-modulation, PPM, relay-delay, short range wireless communications, Full Text: PDF(984.5KB)>>
Summary: The transmit power of Ultra Wideband (UWB) is limited in short range communications to avoid the interference with existing narrow-band communication systems. Since this limits UWB communication range, this paper proposes a novel relay scheme that uses shared frequency repeaters for impulse UWB signal relay to improve system range. After considering possible problems with the repeater, in particular the coupling interference between the input and output and relay-delay, a switching control method is proposed that offers short relay-delay and suppresses the coupling interference at the repeaters. With respect to the proposed relay scheme, Pulse-Position-Modulation (PPM) UWB-based signal relay is evaluated by analyzing its BER performance using the point-to-point transmission link model. | ||||||||||
