Abstract
Increasing the receiver’s bitrate and suppressing the spectral line are issues of major interest in the design of compliant Time-Hopping Impulse Radio (TH-IR) Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) systems. Suppression of spectral lines has been commonly addressed by randomizing the position of each pulse to make the period as large as possible. Our analysis suggests that this influences the overall shape of a signal’s Power Spectral Density (PSD) in a way that is useful for spectral line suppression or diminishing the PSD maximum peak power. A method for utilizing the system to generate a Dynamic-Location Pulse-Position Modulated (DLPPM) signal for transmission across a UWB communications channel is presented, and an analytical derivation of the PSD of a proposed DLPPM signal TH-IR UWB is introduced. Our proposed method can be applied without affecting the users of other concurrent applications. The theoretical model for DPLM TH-IR is compared with the PSD for conventional DPLM TH-IR. The results show that spectral estimation methods based on Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) significantly overestimate the continuous part of the PSD for small and medium signal lengths, which has implications for assessing interference margins by means of simulation. Another purpose of this paper is to improve a predesigned system by increasing the receiver’s bitrate. This will be achieved by using the bits that control the sub-slot technique as information and designing a receiver capable of detecting them. The bitrate is effectively doubled. Finally, the proposed system for DPLM TH-IR has been built inside Simulink/MATLAB to test its results via a conventional DPLM TH-IR system.
Highlights
Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) systems based on Impulse Radio (IR) are the leading candidates for communication systems with low power, low complexity, low rate, and high battery life, as well as immunity to multipath interference characteristics
Before discussing issues related to estimation of the spectrum power and increasing the bitrate for the proposed Dynamic-Location PulsePosition Modulated (DLPPM) Time-Hopping Impulse Radio (TH-IR), we introduce the signal considered for analysing the proposed DLPPM TH-IR UWB system
The present method provides a novel technique which meets the requirements described earlier with the help of a DLPPM TH-IR scheme that allows for a greater throughput than the conventional DLPPM TH-IR scheme
Summary
Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) systems based on Impulse Radio (IR) are the leading candidates for communication systems with low power, low complexity, low rate, and high battery life, as well as immunity to multipath interference characteristics. The behaviour of such estimation methods for proposed DLPPM TH-IR as a function of the sample length is analysed by comparing with previous results of conventional DLPPM TH-IR and PPM TH-IR [1,6] obtained with a swept spectrum analyser. This allows the www.ijacsa.thesai.org (IJACSA) International Journal of Advanced Computer Science and Applications, Vol 11, No 2, 2020 identification of several issues that must be considered to enhance the PSD of conventional PPM TH-IR UWB signals.
