UWB Radio Propagation-Free Space In free space, the propagation of the UWB signal does not show significant difference with a narrowband signal, because in free space wireless channel is a linear time invariant system, and the wideband signal does not suffer frequency selective fading in this environment. Signal propagation follows Friis formula [Par00] P P c G G 2 R T R = 2 T ( 4π fcd ), f c G T G R c P R P T is the central frequency of the signal is the transmit antenna gain is the revive antenna gain speed of light received signal power transmitted signal power Slide 95

UWB Radio Propagation-Multiple Path Slide 98
UWB Radio Propagation-Multiple Path signal propagation in clusters of obstacles environment. Confocal Ellipses describe the set of potential multipath components (MPCs) which have the same propagation delay from transmitter to receiver. The two neighboring ellipses stand for the bounds for the resolvable signals. superposition of these signals makes the received signal more complicated than the ideal scenarios mentioned above. Slide 99
UWB Radio Propagation-Multiple Path Comparison between GSM narrowband and WiMedia UWB symbol Sub-channel Bandwidth: 200 KHz (GSM), 528MHz (WiMedia) Channel tap window length: 5 us (GSM), 1.9 ns (WiMedia). Typical number of path in one tap: large enough statistic independent paths (GSM), limited number of paths (WiMedia) Multiple path model: according to Central Limit Theorem, Rayleigh distribution is used to model the received signal amplitude (GSM), for UWB signal, statistic is not enough to fulfill Central Limit Theorem. (Nakagami distribution, log-normal distribution were reported [Asr06]) Slide 100
Propagation Channel Description Delay Spread and Coherence Bandwidth Delay Spread describes the time dispersive nature of the wireless propagation channel. Coherence Time and Doppler Spread Coherence Time and Doppler Spread characterize the time varying nature of the propagation channel. Channel Impulse Response (CIR) CIR is the time domain description of a radio propagation channel, whose Fourier transform is Channel Transfer Function (CTF). ( τ ) αδ( t τ ) ht, = l l, l l : path index, t: time variable, αl : l-th path gain, τ l propagation delay of the l-th path, δ t Dirac delta function. () Slide 101
Propagation Channel Description Power Delay Profile (PDP) PDP is defined as the squared magnitude of the CIR, averaged over the small-scale fading, and it is formulated as P ( 2 ) ( τ) = h( t τ) E,. t PDP is one of the most important parameters to describe the multipath propagation channel. The delay spread and power delay profile of UWB channel show quite different characters to the narrowband channel. Slide 102
