Chirp Frequency-Translated Reference Ultra-Wideband (UWB) Wireless Communication System

A chirp frequency-translated reference ultra-wideband system is proposed based on the time-domain and code-domain transmitted-reference impulse radio UWB systems. Mathematic derivation and simulation results show that while this system has similar performance to pulse-based UWB system without losing the merits, it has the advantages of chirp communication system as well. Meanwhile, this system not only offers a solution of simple structure and low-power consumption for low rate and short distance wireless data transmission and location, but performs well in medium and long distance wireless data transmission and location.
