Abstract: A modified Saleh-Valenzuela channel model has been
adapted for Ultra Wideband (UWB) system. The suggested realistic
channel is assessed by its distribution of fading amplitude and time of
arrivals. Furthermore, the propagation characteristic has been distinct
into four channel models, namely CM 1 to 4. Each are differentiate in
terms of cluster arrival rates, rays arrival rate within each cluster and
its respective constant decay rates. This paper described the
multiband OFDM system performance simulates under these
multipath conditions. Simulation work described in this paper is
based on WiMedia ECMA-368 standard, which has been deployed
for practical implementation of low cost and low power UWB
devices.
Abstract: Performance of millimeter-wave (mm-wave) multiband
orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) ultrawideband
(UWB) signal generation using frequency quadrupling
technique and transmission over fiber is experimentally investigated.
The frequency quadrupling is achived by using only one Mach-
Zehnder modulator (MZM) that is biased at maximum transmission
(MATB) point. At the output, a frequency quadrupling signal is
obtained then sent to a second MZM. This MZM is used for MBOFDM
UWB signal modulation. In this work, we demonstrate 30-
GHz mm-wave wireless that carries three-bands OFDM UWB
signals, and error vector magnitude (EVM) is used to analyze the
transmission quality. It is found that our proposed technique leads to
an improvement of 3.5 dB in EVM at 40% of local oscillator (LO)
modulation with comparison to the technique using two cascaded
MZMs biased at minimum transmission (MITB) point.
