6. Mandatory UWB PHY Rick Roberts (Harris Corporation)

7. Frequency Plan • Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum • -3 dB Bandwidth (each band): 666.7 MHz • Center Frequencies: Every 250 MHz (3.6 GHz to 10.1 GHz) 26 possible overlapping bands 3.6 GHz 10.1 GHz 3.1 GHz 10.6 GHz • Pulse Response: Root Raised Cosine, 25% Excess Bandwidth Fc(-3 dB)=333.3 MHz Fc +250 +333.3 Noise Bandwidth (NBW) = 666.6 MHz +416.6 Rick Roberts (Harris Corporation)

8. Advantages of Multiple frequency bands • Allows coarse spectral shaping for ingress/egress RFI avoidance • Allows multi-user separation by frequency channels • Allows implementation of lower frequency bands in today’s CMOS interference 3.6 GHz 3.1 GHz Interference avoided by skipping a frequency band Rick Roberts (Harris Corporation)

9. Narrower Bandwidth, Spectrally Shaped UWB, Offers Advantages • Spectral Shaping Results in more NBW which means more TX power • 25% Excess BW, Raised Cosine Pulse • -10 dB bandwidth: 708 MHz • NBW: 667 MHz • Gaussian Pulse • -10 dB bandwidth: 708 MHz • NBW: ~388 MHz • Raised Cosine Pulse Power Advantage: ~2.35 dB • More power, better controlled spectrum • Wider Wavelets offer implementation advantage • Less complexity if a RAKE is deployed • 666.6 MHz of bandwidth still offers good multipath resolution Rick Roberts (Harris Corporation)

10. Spectral Shaping within a frequency channel • “delay and add” notch formation • delay may be either a delay line or second impulse generator f f t0 t1 Rick Roberts (Harris Corporation)

11. CDMA spread spectrum within each frequency channel • Chipping rate 666.6 Mcps, 25% root raised cosine, Nyquist filtering • Bit Rate (Rb) options (1 bit per symbol) • Coherent: 1 Mbps, 500 Kbps, 250 Kbps, 125 Kbps • Non-Coherent: 62.5 Kbps • Symbol Duration >> Delay Spread (shouldn’t need DFE) • Number of chips per bit • 1 Mbps: 666 • 500 kbps: 1332 • 250 kbps: 2664 • 125 kbps: 5328 • 62.5 Kbps: 10656 • Actual codewords are TBD (ternary symbols: +1, -1, 0) • Processing gain (PG): 28.2 dB to 40.3 dB • PG = 10*log10(NBW/Rb) = 10*log10(666.6e6/Rb) Rick Roberts (Harris Corporation)

12. Advantages of high chipping rate • Minimizes the time waveform peak to average ratio • Each individual chip has low amplitude (integrated in the receiver) • Ternary codes: number of active chips per symbol is TBD • Enables high degree of integration on low voltage CMOS • Large code space allows selection of a number of good codes • Ternary codes are best for low cross-correlation • Time hopping codes are a possibility • Having a large number of codes allows code hopping multiple access Rick Roberts (Harris Corporation)

13. Peak-to-Average: high chip rate vs. low chip rate Low Chip Rate Peak High Chip Rate Peak • For Equal TX Output, low chipping rate has a higher peak power and the high chipping rate has a lower peak power • Lower peak power is easier to integrate into low voltage semiconductor process Rick Roberts (Harris Corporation)

14. SOP (Simultaneous Operating Piconets) • Two Methods to Accommodate SOP: • Multiple Frequency Channels (FDMA) • Within a frequency channel, use code division multiple access (CDMA) • Each of possible 4 CDMA piconets uses a chipping rate offset • Chipping rate offset prevents static cross correlation degradation Rick Roberts (Harris Corporation)

15. Acquisition Preamble • Acquisition is strictly a function of SNR, not bit rate or symbol rate • For a given signal strength, the longer the preamble (observation time) the more robust the acquisition (more integration results in higher SNR) • Three preamble lengths: • Mandatory medium length preamble for normal use • Optional short preamble for higher mobility, high SNR scenarios • Optional long preamble for long range, low SNR scenarios • Acquisition can be either a code search (traditional spread spectrum) - or – • If SNR is high enough and channel is benign enough, use of a squaring loop enables cyclo-stationary assisted acquisition (recover carrier/clock frequency from collapsed spectrum – very useful for 62.5 Kbps non-coherent OOK) Rick Roberts (Harris Corporation)

18. OOK Non-Coherent Demodulator Receiver Architecture • useful for short range, low complexity solutions • sub-optimal solution (degrades with interference or multipath) Fc=31.25 KHz OOK Decoder BPF ( )2 LPF ADC Offset Frequency Correction (could be done digitally) >= 62.5 KHz Sample Rate Rick Roberts (Harris Corporation)

20. Acquisition Characteristics • Coherent Preamble • TBD • Very Robust, Long Range Acquisition • Good in Multipath and SOP Performance • More Overhead • Non-Coherent Preamble • TBD • Less Robust, Short Range Acquisition • Poorer in Multipath and SOP Performance • Less Overhead Rick Roberts (Harris Corporation)
