This work presents a new pulse-shaping technique for an impulse-radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) transmitter which is intended for RFID tags and wireless sensor applications. The proposed pulse is derived from a rectangular pulse with its side-band energy suppressed in order to satisfy the FCC UWB regulation, in particular at low frequency band (3.1 - 4.8 GHz). To verify its effectiveness, the new pulse generator was designed in a 180-µm CMOS process. The simulation results indicate that the spectrum of the transmitted pulse can be fitted within the FCC UWB spectral mask. The total circuit consumes 926 µW at a 10 MHz pulse repetitive frequency (PRF).

Abstract. This paper presents an implementation of an integrated Ultra-wideband (UWB), Binary-Phase Shift Keying (BPSK) Gaussian modulated pulse generator. VCO, multiplier and passive Gaussian filter are the key components. The VCO provides the carrier frequency of 4.1 GHz, the LC Gaussian filter is responsible for the pulse shaping in the baseband. Multiplying the baseband pulse and the VCO frequency shifts the pulse to the desired center frequency. The generated Gaussian pulse ocupppies the frequency range from 3.1 to 5.1 GHz with the center frequency at 4.1 GHz. Simulations and measured results show that this spectrum fulfills the mask for indoor communication systems given by the FCC (Federal Communications Commission, 2002). The total power consumption is 55 mW using a supply voltage of 2.5 V. Circuits are realized using the IHP 0.25 μm SiGe:C BiCMOS technology.

This paper presents an improved ultra-wideband monocycle pulse generator circuit based on step recovery diode. This pulse generator circuit uses short-circuit microstrip transmission line to generate the Gaussian pulse the monocycle pulse. The improved pulse-shaping network employs two schottky diodes and a MESFET to suppress the pulse ringing. The SRD model was built in RF simulation software ADS, and then the design and simulation of the pulse generator circuit was accomplished using this model. The experiments showed an monocycle pulse of 400ps pulse width with good symmetry. The measured results agreed with the simulation.

In this paper, we propose a compact four-port coplanar antenna for cognitive radio applications. The proposed antenna consists of a coplanar waveguide (CPW)-fed ultra-wideband (UWB) antenna and three inner rectangular loop antennas. The dimensions of the proposed antenna are 42 mm × 50 mm × 0.8 mm. The UWB antenna is used for spectrum sensing and fully covers the UWB spectrum of 3.1–10.6 GHz. The three loop antennas cover the UWB frequency band partially for communication purposes. The first loop antenna for the low frequency range operates from 2.96 GHz to 5.38 GHz. The second loop antenna is in charge of the mid band from 5.31 GHz to 8.62 GHz. The third antenna operates from 8.48 GHz to 11.02 GHz, which is the high-frequency range. A high isolation level (greater than 17.3 dB) is realized among the UWB antenna and three loop antennas without applying any additional decoupling structures. The realized gains of the UWB antenna and three loop antennas are greater than 2.7 dBi and 1.38 dBi, respectively.

The calculation of vibronic side bands of defects in crystals is discussed. A model for the deformation of the lattice about a Sm2+ defect in alkali halides and side-band calculations on this model for KBr and KCl containing Sm2+ are compared with experimentally observed side bands. Improvements, particularly in the low frequency region, are found over the calculations assuming no deformation.
