Impulse-Radio Ultra Wideband (IR-UWB) is a promising technology for indoor localization due to its robustness against multipath interference. In this paper, to deal with the synchronization requirement among anchors in traditional time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) localization, which is difficult to achieve, an asynchronous time-difference-of-arrival (TDOA) localization method is proposed. The theoretical...
Compared with the global positioning system (GPS), the digital television (DTV) broadcasting signal is a promising candidate for position location due to low implementation cost and strong signal reception. Without changing the current infrastructure of the Chinese DTV broadcasting network, this paper proposes a novel positioning scheme using the multi-carrier pseudo-noise (PN-MC) training sequence...
This paper presents a digital back-end design for energy detection IR-UWB receivers which can be adopted in RFID and wireless sensor applications. A baseband processor is designed on the basis of a novel synchronization and estimation algorithm. It reduces implementation complexity and energy consumption. A programmable timing circuitry with 1.04 ns phase resolution is also devised in this work. The...
The traditional task of a sensor network is data collection and aggregation for further processing. In the case of mobile networks this is usually done via wireless technologies. However, with the establishment of mobility another problem occurs: The question of the actual location of the measured data. This paper proposes a localisation scheme for Wireless LAN, where an existing WLAN infrastructure...
This paper presents the design of an 8-bit 20 GS/s DAC. The DAC is implemented with a modified current steering architecture where unlike the conventional binary weighted architecture a R-2R ladder DAC architecture is used as the LSB sub-DAC. In simulation the 8-bit DAC shows 7.83 ENOB for 9 GHz of input sinusoidal at 20 GHz of sampling rate with the power dissipation of 2.5 W. The measurement results...
