Abstract
We present a wireless link budget analysis for impulse-radio ultrawideband
(IR-UWB) systems with different pulse-shaping techniques using a realistic path loss
model. Simulation results confirm that a proper pulse design technique is crucial for
satisfying Federal Communications Commission mask requirements and performance
enhancement of IR-UWB systems. We present a novel pulse design technique, based on a
linear combination of modified doublets pulses and compare it with conventional pulses
such as monocycle, doublet and fifth-order derivative of Gaussian pulses. The proposed
pulse outperforms the conventional pulses in terms of spectral power efficiency and
achievable reach using an M-ary pulse-amplitude modulation format and a fixed data rate.
Furthermore, we propose and experimentally demonstrate routing over a hybrid
wired-wireless network of IR-UWB services using the proposed pulse shape. The routing
functionality is realized using a single semiconductor optical amplifier based on the
cross-gain modulation technique. Error-free transmission of both 1.25 Gb/s baseband
wired services and 2 Gb/s wireless IR-UWB services has been achieved over 1 km fiber
link. The proposed technique can efficiently distribute and multicast both wireless
IR-UWB and wired services in future in-building networks.
