UWB - Advantages
•Data Transmission – Pulse Reference ‘0’ ‘1’ ‘1’ ‘0’

Position Modulation,

0 ~ pulse transmitted early (-TC).

1 ~ pulse transmitted late (+TC).
TP TP
-Tc +Tc

•Data Rate – from 1Mbps (T =1000 ns) to P

40Mbps (TP=25 ns).

•Baseband Processing – no up/down
conversion, simple design for transmitter and
receiver.

•Mitigating Multipath – echo
cancellation during no transmission period.


UWB - Applications
UWB is most suitable for
•High data rate
•Short range low power (Indoor)
•High clutter (severe multipath) applications.

OFDM - Introduction

•Multi-carrier modulation -Available bandwidth is
divided into several narrow bands and one carrier is used in each W f
narrow band.
Serial data stream is divided in N parallel data streams and each 1 2 3 N-1 N

is transmitted on a separate band.
W/N f

•Orthogonal Carriers - The sub-carrier frequencies
occupies the zero crossing spectra of other sub-carriers.


OFDM - Technology

Cyclic Prefix
Interleaving

Converter
Mapping

Serial to

Antenna

Convolutional/ BPSK/ QPSK/ 16 Pilot Insertion
Reed Solomon QAM/ 64 QAM Zero Padding

•Fast serial data stream is transformed into slow parallel data streams - Longer symbol durations.

•Symbols are transmitted on different subcarriers – IFFT/FFT pair.

•Guard time/ Cyclic Prefix is inserted between consecutive OFDM symbols


OFDM - Advantages
• Efficient spectrum utilization - Available bandwidth is divided into
several narrow bands and the data is transmitted in parallel on these narrow bands.

•Combating ISI - Cyclic prefixing CP

ISI
removes ISI from previous symbol.
CP

•Robustness to fading - A frequency selective channel appears as flat in
the narrow bandwidth of sub-carrier.

•Right in track - Development in Digital Signal Processing simplifies the
generation of OFDM signals.


OFDM - Challenges

•Much more sensitive to synchronization errors than
single-carrier systems - Synchronization of symbol duration and carrier
frequency is highly essential to maintain orthogonality among the sub-carriers

•High peak to average power ratio - OFDM signals have high
Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) which leads to Out Of Band (OOB) distortion.
Also it requires amplifiers with very high linear characteristics to avoid OOB distortion.

•Wastage of bandwidth in cyclic prefix.


OFDM - Applications

•Used for wideband communication over mobile FM channels.

•Asynchronous Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), High speed DSL, Very high speed DSL
use OFDM for transmission of high rate data.

•Digital Audio Broadcasting (DAB) and Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB).

•IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11g wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) uses OFDM for
supporting high bit rate.

•European Telecommunications Standard Institute’s proposed HIPERLAN2 includes
OFDM.

•IEEE 802.16 Wireless MAN technology also proposes to use OFDM.

•Some authors have also advocated use of OFDM in mobile Ad Hoc networks.

MIMO
•Why MIMO?
 S
C = B log 1 + 
 N
To increase capacity one have to increase signal power exponentially.

•With MIMO Capacity increases N fold compared to
SISO systems
 N t → No. of Transmitters
N ≤ min ( N t , N r ) 
 N r → No. of Receivers

•MIMO vs. Diversity
In Diversity system same message is sent over multiple channels to improve reliability.
In MIMO systems different messages are sent to increase capacity.
