摘要: Within many applications impulse radio based ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) transmission offers significant benefits for very short range high data rate communications when compared with existing standards and protocols. In many of these applications the main design goals are very low power consumption and very low complexity design for easy integration and cost reduction. Digitally programmable IR-UWB transmitters using an on-off keying modulation scheme on a 0.13 microns CMOS process operating on 1.2V supply and yielding power consumption as low as 0.9 mW at a 10 Mbps data rate with dynamic power control are enabled. The IR-UWB transmitters support new frequency hopping techniques providing more efficient spectrum usage and dynamic allocation of the spectrum when transmitting in highly congested frequency bands. Biphasic scrambling is also introduced for spectral line reduction. Additionally, an energy detection receiver for IR-UWB is presented to similarly meet these design goals whilst being adaptable to address IR-UWB transmitter specificity.

摘要: Embodiments enable communicating Ultra Wideband (UWB) devices to collaborate by exchanging pulse shape information. The UWB devices use the pulse shape information to improve ranging accuracy. The improved ranging accuracy can be used in complex multipath environments where advanced estimation schemes are used to extract an arriving path for time-of-flight estimation. To determine the pulse shape information to be shared, some embodiments include determining location information of a UWB device and selecting the pulse shape information that satisfies regional aspects. The pulse shape information includes a time-zero index specific to a ranging signal that is used by UWB receivers to establish timestamps time-of-flight calculations. Some embodiments include measuring performance characteristics and selecting different pulse shape information based on the performance characteristics for improved accuracy.

摘要: Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology exploits modulated coded impulses over a wide frequency spectrum with very low power over a short distance for digital data transmission. Today's leading edge modulated sinusoidal wave wireless communication standards and systems achieve power efficiencies of 50 nJ/bit employing narrowband signaling schemes and traditional RF transceiver architectures. However, such designs severely limit the achievable energy efficiency, especially at lower data rates such as below 1 Mbps. Further, it is important that peak power consumption is supportable by common battery or energy harvesting technologies and long term power consumption neither leads to limited battery lifetimes or an inability for alternate energy sources to sustain them. Accordingly, it would be beneficial for next generation applications to exploit inventive transceiver structures and communication schemes in order to achieve the sub nJ per bit energy efficiencies required by next generation applications.

摘要: Methods and systems are provided for spreading spectral density of digital-to-analog conversion output signals. A spreading circuit may spread a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) output signal over a particular frequency spectrum, with the spreading circuit receiving the DAC output signal; generating a plurality of internal control signals; and generating based on the DAC output signal and the one or more internal control signal a corresponding spread output signal. The Internal control signals may comprise at least a first control signal, generated based on sequences meeting at least one particular criterion, a second control signal, generated based on a feedback corresponding to an intermediate output generated within the spreading circuit. The spreading circuit may generate the first control signal based on zero-sum sequences. The spreading circuit may generate a stream of pulses based on the intermediate output, and may generate the feedback signal based on the stream of pulses.

摘要: Techniques provided herein are directed toward providing a robust downlink communication frame that enables medical implants with highly inaccurate LOs to reliably provide uplink communications to an interrogator device. The downlink communication frame can include, among other things, a plurality of uplink trigger subframes that enable timing of uplink communication of the various medical implants with which the interrogator device is communicating. These uplink trigger subframes may be modulated in a special manner as to distinguish them from other subframes.
