The purpose of this paper is to propose a detection algorithm and a tracking algorithm based on silent time using MB-OFDM UWB(Multi-Band Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Ultra Wide Band) receiver in order to satisfy DAA(Detect And Avoid) regulation of Korea to permit UWB in 3.1~4.8 GHz. In DAA regulation of Korea, if UWB device receives a signal more than -80 dBm/MHz from the victim system during UWB operation, the UWB system should avoid the collision within 2 sec. In this paper, we proposed the detection algorithm to detect the victim signal received by －80 dBm/MHz for the avoidance process that changes the operating UWB frequency to other UWB frequency and the subcarrier tracking algorithm to follow up the subcarrier positions of the victim signal for the tonenulling avoidance process that decreases the TX power of subcarriers occupied by the victim signal by -70 dBm/MHz. The performance of the detection algorithm and the tracking algorithm suggested in this paper is verified in simulation results considering various conditions.

Future wireless networks are expected to achieve high bit rates at low cost, enabling multimedia and QoS-based services over the wireless medium. The impulse radio ultra-wide band (IR-UWB) technique is a promising candidate in the deployment of such networks, thanks to its potential robustness and capacity. In the past, most of the UWB research focused on hardware and physical layer aspects in order to solve the technological challenges posed by IR-UWB. UWB peculiar characteristics may, however, also stimulate innovative higher layers’ design. This work addresses MAC issues for UWB communication systems. Key areas such as medium sharing, MAC organization, packet scheduling and power control are reviewed. The impact of UWB on the above functions is discussed, and areas which require UWB specific design are identified. Finally, novel MAC functions enabled by UWB specific features, i.e., precise ranging and positioning, are presented.

UWB는 저속 UWB와 고속 UWB로 구분할 수 있다. 저속 UWB는 IEEE802.15.4a에서 Sensor Network 용도로 표준화 되고 있으며, 고속 UWB는 IEEE802.15.3a에서 중단된 표준화가 UWB Forum과 WiMedia Alliance에서 각각 진행되고 있다. 고속 UWB는 Certified Wireless USB를 시작으로 무선 1394, 고속 Bluetooth 및 IP 패킷을 전송하기 위한 프로토콜 등 다양한 응용에 적합한 표준이 진행되고 있다. UWB 규격 및 상용화에 있어서 2006년도에는 WiNet기술, PHY 및 Platform C/I 규격 및 시험이 규격의 흐름이었다면 2007년도에는 각 국의 주파수 규정을 반영하고 DAA 기능을 추가한 물리계층 및 MAC 계층 규격이 기술흐름의 중심에 있다. 본 고에서는 WiMedia Alliance의 고속 UWB를 중심으로 최근 표준 활동과 WiMedia 규격을 활용한 국내외 기술동향에 대하여 살펴보고자 한다.

Ultra wideband (UWB) technologies have been developed to exploit a new spectrum resource in substances and to realize ultra-high-speed communication, high precision geo-location, and other applications. The energy of UWB signal is extremely spread from near DC (Direct Current) to a few GHz. This means that the interference between conventional narrowband systems and UWB systems is inevitable. However, the interference effects had not previously been studied from UWB wireless systems to conventional wireless systems sharing the frequency bands such as broadcasting system. This paper experimentally evaluates the interference from two kinds of UWB sources, namely an orthogonal frequency division multiplex UWB source and an impulse radio UWB source, to a broadcasting transmission system. The S/N ratio degradation of broadcasting system is presented. From these experimental results, we show that in all practical cases UWB system can be coexisted 35m distance in-band broadcasting network.

Ultra wideband (UWB) technologies have been developed to exploit a new spectrum resource in substances and to realize ultra-high-speed communication, high precision geolocation, and other applications. The energy of UWB signal is extremely spread from near DC to a few GHz. This means that the interference between conventional narrowband systems and UWB systems is inevitable. However, the interference effects had not previously been studied from UWB wireless systems to conventional mobile wireless systems sharing the frequency bands such as WCDMA system. This paper experimentally evaluates the interference from two kinds of UWB sources, namely a direct-sequence spread-spectrum UWB source and an impulse radio UWB source, to a WCDMA digital transmission system. The average frame error rate degradations are presented. From these experimental results, we show that in all practical cases UWB system can coexist with WCDMA terminal without causing any dangerous interference.

In this paper, we propose a direct sequence ultra wideband (DS-UWB) radar system based on correlation accumulation in the fields of the ship traffic control and the safe ship operation including docking guidance systems. The proposed DS-UWB radar system averages out the noise by accumulating correlator outputs, and thus, provides a reliable distance estimation performance with a shorter estimation time compared with conventional DS-UWB radar systems. From numerical results, it is confirmed that the proposed DS-UWB radar system has not only a shorter average correlation processing time, but also a better distance estimation performance.

This paper presents the impacts of Ultra Wide-Band(UWB) sensor using frequency of 4.5 GHz on Broadband Wireless communication system which uses frequency of 4.5 GHz. The Minimum Coupling Loss (MCL) method and Spectrum Engineering Advanced Monte Carlo Analysis Tool (SEAMCAT) is used to evaluate the interference effects of UWB sensor on Broadband Wireless communication system, respectively. The minimum protection distance between single UWB sensor and mobile station of Broadband Wireless communication system should be more than 1.2 m to guarantee the co-existence. In case of multiple UWB sensors, UWB transmitting PSD of around -68.5 dBm/MHz below should be required to guarantee interference probability of 5% below for mobile station of Broadband Wireless communication system.

UWB 기술은 주파수 영역에서 광대역을 갖는 임펄스를 사용하므로 목표물로부터 많은 정보를 얻어, 고해상도 레이더 개발이 가능하다. 이러한 UWB 레이더의 특성을 이용하여 한국전기연구원에서는 지중 금속 물체를 탐지하기 위한 지반 탐사 레이더를 개발하였다. 개발된 레이더는 실제환경에서 금속 물체를 탐지하기 위해서 시험되었다. 개발된 레이더는 물체의 깊이에 대해 고해상도를 가졌고, 동작 파장보다 훨씬 작은 금속 물체까지도 탐지가 가능함을 보였다. 본 논문에서는 개발된 지반 탐사 UWB 레이더 시스템을 소개하고, UWB 레이더의 특성 및 UWB 기술에 대해 기술하고자 한다.
