UWB (Ultrawideband) Impulse radio implementation Traditional design approach for UWB communication system using narrow time-domain pulses that occupy a very wide spectrum
Pulsed multi-band implementation In the Multi-band approach the information is encoded in multiple RF sub-bands at staggered time, each band occupying 500MHZ.
• encodes information using impulses
• use multiple frequency band to efficiently use the UWB spectrum
• impulses can be modulated either with position, or with amplitude or with phase
• transmits multiple UWB signal at different frequencies
• especially effective for radars systems • difficult to be realized in CMOS
• signals don’t interfere with each other because they operate at different frequencies
• application into niche markets such as radars, imaging, military communications
• available spectrum is broken down in bands each of them occupying 500MHz bandwidth. • can be realized in CMOS • application in personal network area which requires speeds of 110,220 and 480Mbps at 10m with low power consumption
