Item Open Access Enhancements to threshold based range estimation for ultra-wideband systems(IEEE, 2014-09) Soğancı, Hamza; Gezici, Sinan; Güldoğan, M. B.Ultra-wideband (UWB) signals have very high time resolution, which makes them a very good candidate for range estimation based wireless positioning. Although the accuracy is the major concern for range estimation, it is also important to have low-complexity algorithms that can be employed in real time. In this study, two low-complexity range estimation algorithms are proposed for UWB signals, which achieve improved performance compared to the state-of-the-art low-complexity ranging algorithms. The proposed algorithms are inspired from two well-known algorithms; 'serial backward search' (SBS) and 'jump back and search forward' (JBSF). Performances of the proposed algorithms are compared with those of the SBS and JBSF algorithms based on real measurements. In addition, theoretical bounds are calculated in order to quantify the statistical performance of the algorithms. © 2014 IEEE.Item Open Access Low power UWB transceiver design using dynamic voltage scaling(IEEE, 2007-03) Garg, R.; Chunjie, D.; Jinyun, Z.; Gezici, SinanLow power consumption is a critical issue in many UWB systems. In this paper, we investigate the application of dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) and other low power design techniques to a multiband-OFDM UWB transceiver baseband circuit design in order to reduce average power consumption of the chip. Our results show significant power savings over the conventional approach. © 2007 IEEE.Item Open Access Performance analysis of code-multiplexed transmitted-reference ultra-wideband systems(IEEE, 2011) Tutay, Mehmet Emin; Gezici, Sinan; Poor H.V.In code-multiplexed transmitted-reference (CM-TR) ultra-wideband (UWB) systems, data signals and reference signals are transmitted using two distinct orthogonal codes. In this way, performance improvements and/or implementation advantages are obtained compared to transmitted-reference (TR) and frequency-shifted reference (FSR) ultra-wideband (UWB) systems. In this study, performance of CM-TR systems is investigated, and probability of error expressions are obtained. For the single user case, a closed-form expression for the exact probability of error is derived, whereas a Gaussian approximation, the accuracy of which depends on the number of frames per symbol, is considered for the multiuser case. Also, the maximum likelihood detector is derived, and numerical examples are presented. © 2011 IEEE.
