  • Ultra wideband (UWB), is a wireless

communication technology.

  • Referred to as an impulse, baseband or zero-carrier

technology, ultra-wideband systems operate coherently across a wide range of frequency spectrum relative to a center frequency.

WHAT IS UWB ?

WHAT IS UWB ?

 A UWB signal can be typified by a series of low-

power derivative-of-Gaussian pulses.

 Each pulse is extremely short in duration (10 to

1,000 picoseconds), typically much shorter than the interval corresponding to a single bit.

 The frequency spectrum of a UWB signal can be

many gigahertz wide, overlaying the bands used by existing narrowband systems.

 UWB is also termed as a "zero carrier" radio. In

  • ther words, a UWB system can drive its antenna

directly with a baseband signal.

WHY UWB?

 Data rates in excess of 100 Mbit/s, while using a small

amount of power and operating in the same bands as existing communications without producing significant interference.

 UWB is the leading technology for freeing people from

wires, enabling wireless connection of multiple devices for transmission of video, audio and other high-bandwidth data.

Definition of the UWB

 DARPA, coined the term UltraWideBand in the 1990s, and

defined it as a system with a fractional bandwidth greater than 25 percent.

 Or, if it instantaneously occupies in excess of 1.5GHz of

absolute bandwidth.

UWB v/s TRADITIONAL NARROWBAND

 Rather than transmitting a continous carrier wave modulated

with information, a UWB radio transmits a series of very narrow impulses.

 It does not require a Sine-Wave RF carrier.

ADVANTAGES OF UWB

  • High data rate – because of high frequency pulses
  • High Capacity – enables it to achieve high

throughput and greater spectrum sharing

  • Low power – Currently it uses as low as -41.3 dBm
  • Simple RF circuits – no need for mixers. This

directly translates to low cost

High Performance: Shannon’s Law

20

Shannon’s equation shows that increasing channel capacity requires linear increases in Bandwidth while similar channel capacity increases would require exponential increases in power. This is why UWB technology is capable

  • f transmitting very high data rates using very low power.

Shannon’s capacity limit equation shows capacity increasing as a function of BW (bandwidth) faster than as a function of SNR (signal to noise ratio).

Advantages of UWB

 Accurate delay estimates – because of high frequency

pulses, it is possible to provide position accuracy within a few centimeters

 Robustness to fading - Wideband nature of the signal

reduces time varying amplitude fluctuations

 Flexibility – Can trade throughput for distance, thus useful

for a number of applications

Modulation Schemes

Pulse amplitude modulation (PAM) :

 The length of the pulse denotes

the character.

 For example, a longer pulse

denotes a 1 and a shorter pulse denotes a 0

 M-ary PAM is also possible

depending on the length of the pulses

 It gives very poor energy

efficiency

Modulation Schemes

On-Off keying (OOK) :

 The presence of a pulse is

denoted by 1 and the absence

  • f a pulse is denoted by 0

 It has a simple implementation

but poor energy efficiency

Modulation Schemes

Pulse Position Modulation (PPM) :

 A “1” or a “0” is determined by

different picoseconds delay (say T1 and T2)

 M-ary PPM is also possible  Time-hopping (shifting each

pulse’s time position, in accordance with a code) is also possible with PPM

TYPES OF UWB TRANSMISSION

There are two forms of UWB Transmission :-

 Impulse Radio (IR-UWB)  Multi-band UWB

29

slide-30
SLIDE 30

IMPULSE RADIO (IR-UWB)

 This is a more conventional approach to UWB

transmission.

 Uses extremely short pulses with duration of the

  • rder of nanoseconds to transmit information.

 Short pulses have very large bandwidth of the order

  • f a few GHz.

30

slide-31
SLIDE 31

MULTIBAND UWB

 Instead of using the entire band to transmit information, the

spectrum can be divided into several sub-bands.(of e.g. 500 MHz each) .

 Data can be transmitted concurrently.

Fire Rescue Operations

36

UWB Devices(receivers) could be placed outside the affected building or on the ladder(generally). The firefighters carry a small UWB transmitter

  • n their chest(refer picture) which transmits

information on the whereabouts of the person to the device outside the building. UWB’s ability to see through concrete structures and buildings is a boon to any search operations.
