  • The design of delta-sigma modulators for multi-standard RF receivers

    Creator:
    Liu, Mingliang
    Abstract:
    The transition from second-generation (2G) to third-generation (3G) wireless cellular and cordless telephone systems requires multi-standard adaptability in a single RF receiver equipment. An important answer to this request is the use of Delta-Sigma modulators for IF-to-baseband conversion, which will satisfy the dynamic range requirements for digital signal processing, and...

  • Analysis and design on low-power short-range radios for wireless body area networks

    Creator:
    Cheng, Jiao
    Abstract:
    The release of the IEEE802.15.6 standard has led to increased interest in low-power technologies for wireless body-area-networks (WBANs). The power dissipation, supply voltage, and die area are some of the most important criteria for successful WBAN implementations. Digital-intensive RX architectures can potentially result in sub-1V operation with significant reductions in...

  • Receiver synchronization for UWB TDOA localization

    Creator:
    Baek, Seungjin
    Abstract:
    Pulsed ultra-wideband (UWB) radio uses extremely short pulses to transmit information. Such pulses provide very fine timing information, which has led to technological advances in high-precision localization. This thesis investigates UWB localization strategies with a focus on receiver synchronization algorithms for time-difference-of-arrival localization to achieve centimeter accuracies in a 3-dimensional...

  • Ultra-low power receivers for wireless sensor networks

    Creator:
    Ayers, James S.
    Abstract:
    In wireless sensor network applications, low-power operation of the wireless receiver is critical. To address this need an ultra-low power Binary Frequency Shift Keying (BFSK) receiver using the super-regenerative architecture is developed. A prototype receiver is built and tested for operation in the 900 MHz ISM band. Lab measurements show...

  • A channelized digital receiver design for UWB sytems in a multipath indoor environment

    Creator:
    Chang, Yuhao
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a channelized digital receiver design for UWB sytems in a multipath indoor environment. The UWB technology has been used for commercial and military purposes due to a number of advantages such as low-power consumption, noise-like and carrier free. The energy of UWB signal is spread over a...

  • Low power receivers for wireless sensor networks

    Creator:
    Ni, Ronghua
    Abstract:
    Wireless sensor networks are becoming important in several monitoring and sensing applications. Ultra low power consumption in the sensor nodes is important for extending the battery life of the nodes. In this dissertation, two low power BFSK receiver architectures are proposed and verified with prototype implementations in silicion. A 2.4...

  • Threshold Selection Based on the SNR in Time of Arrival Localization System

    Creator:
    Lyu, Tao
    Abstract:
    Threshold-based time of arrival (TOA) estimation is a technique for high-precision indoor localization. Existing threshold selection methods, such as xed thresh- old and normalized threshold methods, do not consider the signal-to-noise radio (SNR) value at the receiver. This is not desired for high-precision positioning. A proper threshold value depends on...

  • Feedback in multiple antenna wireless communication systems

    Creator:
    Xu, Tao
    Abstract:
    Multiple-input multiple-output wireless systems promise significant capacity gain and/or diversity gain over single antenna systems. If channel state information (CSI) is available at both the transmitter and the receiver, the performance can be further improved. In this thesis, first, we study binary index feedback problem in beamforming systems when the...
