The goal of this paper is to highlight the significance of the timing acquisition problem in ultra-
wideband (UWB) communication systems and discuss efficient solutions to the problem. We …

Transmitted-Reference (TR) signaling, in conjunction with an autocorrelation receiver (AcR),
offers a low-complexity alternative to Rake reception in ultrawide bandwidth systems. This …

This paper deals with the analysis of the timing acquisition (synchronization) process in
Impulse Radio (IR-) Ultra Wide Band (UWB) systems based on Differential Transmitted …

Transmit-reference (TR) is known as a realistic but low data rate candidate for ultra-
wideband (UWB) communication systems. This paper proposes a new TR-UWB scheme that …

This paper presents a new transmitted reference ultra-wideband receiver, which utilizes the
orthogonal property of even and odd order derivatives of Gaussian pulses in neighboring …

We investigate the timing acquisition problem for transmitted reference (TR) ultrawideband
(UWB) systems employing direct sequence (DS) spreading. We show that a two-level DS …

This paper presents a parallel processing searcher structure for the initial synchronization of
a direct sequence ultra‐wideband (DS‐UWB) system, which is suitable for the digital …

Timing acquisition is one of the major challenges in ultra-wideband (UWB) communications.
The timing with dirty template (TDT) approach is an attractive technique for UWB systems …

–Throughput λ: threads per second, averaged over [0, T]–Parallelism L: number of active
threads, averaged over [0, T]–Latency W: latency of a thread, averaged over {τ1,…, τN} …

We propose two new receiver architectures for a ultra wide band (UWB) system based on
the IEEE 802.15. 4a standard. The design objective is robustness against strong multiple …
