Instead of exploring new unused frequency band, the UWB communication follows the overlay principle, i.e., sharing the spectrum with existing systems and devices. This novel radio technology has been recently approved by the regulatory authorities in the United States and Canada, and is being considered for approval in Europe and Asia. In this paper, an overview of the UWB radio technology from the technical, economical, and regulatory perspectives is provided. Firstly, the definition of UWB by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) is introduced, followed by a brief introduction to the history. The current status of the standardization process resulting from the FCC’s recent decision to permit unlicensed operation in the [3.1 - 10.6] GHz band is discussed. Then, the reasons of considering UWB as a future solution for WLAN/WPAN applications are studied. In particular, the unique properties of UWB and its difference from other wireless technology alternatives are studied. Then, the benefits and challenges related to the commercial deployment of UWB for future applications are discussed. Finally, the research problems and challenges posed by the UWB technology are focused.展开更多

The 60GHz receiver is designed based on the super-heterodyne architecture consisting of a low noise amplifier （LNA） with inter-stage peaking technique, a single- balanced RF mixer, an IF amplifier, and a double-balanced I/Q down-conversion IF mixer. The proposed 60GHz receiver frontend derives from the sliding-IF structure and is designed with 7GHz ultra-wide bandwidth around 60GHz, supporting four 2.16GHz receiving channels from IEEE 802.1lad standard for next generation high speed Wi- Fi applications. Measured results show that the entire receiver achieves a peak gain of 12dB and an input 1-dB compression point of -14.SdBm, with a noise figure of lower than 7dB, while consumes a total DC current of only 60mA from a 1.2V voltage supply.展开更多

Cognitive UWB networks not only provide very high data rates but also guarantee the uninterrupted communication of primary system operated in the same frequency band. In this work, the problem of the capacity analyses of cognitive UWB networks is investigated. Different from the conventional cognitive spectrum sharing model which can only utilize the idle spectrum hole, the cognitive UWB system can operate adaptively based on spectrum sensing results. Taking into account several factors such as the transmission power constraint of UWB, the interference constraint of the receivers in primary systems, the secondary UWB network capacity problem is modeled as a convex optimization problem over the transmission power. The optimal power allocation strategy and algorithm are derived based on this optimization problem. Two cases (Perfect Spectrum Sensing and Imperfect Spectrum Sensing) are studied in the paper. Numerical simulation results show that the proposed adaptive power allocationscheme improves the ergodic and outage capacity under both transmission power and interference constraints compared with constant transmission power scheme.展开更多

This ho-nodyne receiver mainly consists of a diffexential Low Noise Amplifier （LNA） circuit followed by a down-converting mixer. The proposed LNA circuit with a noise canceling resistor is connected to the CMOS device＇s body to reduce the substrate thermal noise. Simulation and measuremnt results show that the chip can reduce the froat-end Noise Figure （NF） about 0.5dB and achieve the Conversion Gain （03） of 19.44-21.57 dB and double-sideband NF less than 7.8 dB. Also, the input third-order interoept point （IIP3） is - 11 dBm, and the input second-order intercept point （IIP2） is 49 dBm. Fabricated in TSMC 0.18 tan technology, this chip occupies only 0. 167 Iron2 and dissipates power 59.2 roW.展开更多
