UWB Technology

Narrowband (30kHz)

Wideband CDMA (5 MHz)

Part 15 Limit UWB (Several GHz) Frequency

•

•

Short electric pulses (sub-nanosecond) are generated, transmitted, received and processed – Very low duty cycle pulses – No energy content at 0 Hz – Occupied bandwidth >> information bandwidth Form of spread spectrum where RF energy is spread over gigahertz of spectrum – Wider than any narrowband system by orders of magnitude – Power seen by a narrowband system is a fraction of the total – UWB signals can be designed to look like imperceptible random noise to conventional radios Ultra-Wideband Tutorial IEEE 802.15-02/133r1 by Matt Welborn (XtremeSpectrum) and Kai Siwiak (Time Domain) JES 2003:0020 PA1 10/21/2003


History of UWB Technology • Before 1900: Wireless Began as UWB – Large RF bandwidths, but did not take advantage of large spreading gain

• 1900-40s: Wireless goes ‘tuned’ – – – –

Analog processing: filters, resonators ‘Separation of services by wavelength’ Era of wireless telephony begins: AM / SSB / FM Commercial broadcasting matures, radar and signal processing

• 1970-90s: Digital techniques applied to UWB – Wide band impulse radar – Allows for realization of the HUGE available spreading gain

• Feb 14, 2002: UWB approved by FCC for commercialization

UWB Definition for Commercial Usage •

Definition from First Report and Order FCC 02-48, February 14, 2002 – Bandwidth • Instantaneous bandwidth >= 20% bandwidth or >= 500 MHz bandwidth • -10dB emission points • 2(fH – fL )/(fH + fL )

– Very Low Power Spectral Density (PSD) • In band average EIRP < -41.25 dBm/Hz (FCC Part 15 unintentional emission limit) • In band peak EIRP 0 dBm/50 MHz

– Approved Spectrum is Application Specific • • • •

Ground penetrating radars & wall imaging: 1000)

• Pulse Bi-Phase Modulation – High data rates (> 100 Mbps) – Low number of devices/ users

UWB Technology – Channelization • None – Single pulse detection -requires 7 to 10dB SNR above background at receiver

• Time hopped spread spectrum (TH-SS) – Uses PN sequence to “pseudo-randomly” shift the position (in time) of a periodic pulse train from its nominal position: time hopping – Information bits are encoded in the time shifts of the pulses by M-ary PPM – Reception is using a correlation receiver: multiplies the received RF signal with its locally generated “template” waveform and integrates to yield a single sample (pulse integration)

• Direct sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS) – Uses high duty cycle DS-SS coded sequence of wide band pulses transmitted at GHz rates – Can provide high data rates, up to 100Mbps, at relatively short distances – Reception is by the RAKE receiver: bank of correlators with MRC combining of the samples at the output of the RAKE fingers

UWB Technology – Antennas • Antenna is critical part of pulse-shaping filter – monopole, electric dipole, magnetic loop – planar, printed circuit: bowtie, equiangular spiral, ... – 3-D geometry: disc-cone, equiangular spiral, meander line, ...

UWB Attributes • Ultrawideband Operation (> 500 MHz) – – – –

Better multipath fading performance (like any wideband signal would) Large processing gain (> 40 dB) improves Anti-Jam (AJ) properties Covert operation (Low Probability of Intercept/Detection (LPI/D)) Precise location on the order of a few centimeters

• Simple transceiver design based on pulse waveform – Few functions – Low cost, low power dissipation, small size, low weight – Higher energy efficiency due to pulsed battery operation

• More Efficient Use of the Spectrum – – – –

More users per unit of bandwidth Reduced near-far interference resulting from low duty cycle operation Full-duplex operation in the same frequency band Unregulated (FCC Part 15) operation

Emission Limits for Vehicular Radar • Devices to detect the location and movement of objects near a vehicle – Enable near collision avoidance, improved airbag activation, and suspension systems that better respond to road conditions.

• Operation of vehicular radar in the 22-29 GHz band using directional antennas on terrestrial transportation vehicles – Center frequency of the emission and the frequency at which the highest radiated emission occurs are greater than 24.075 GHz. – Attenuation of the emissions below 24 GHz is required above the horizontal plane in order to protect space borne passive sensors operating in the 23.6-24.0 GHz band.
