Objective

Ultra-Wideband Impulse Radio (UWB-IR) has an advantage of providing high data-rate with lower power consumption than conventional complex quadrature modulated radios, such as orthogonal frequency modulation (OFDM) with quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK) or 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM). The requirement of large bandwidth is the disadvantage of UWB-IR since license-fee of bandwith requires high cost. But, in 2002, three ultra-wideband frequencies are allocated for license-free applications. From 3.1 to 10.6GHz microwave band called as UWB and 59 to 66GHz millimeter-wave bands are allocated for wireless communication and 22-29GHz pseudo millimeter-wave band is allocated for short-range collision avoidance automobile radar applications. UWB and 60GHz bands are suitable for low-power several Gbps wireless communication. Every day, low-power and high-speed new consumer electronics appliances are appearing in the market such as digital camera, laptop, iPot, etc. These devices need to communicate each other with more than 1 Gbps data-rate where the power consumption of the transceiver is main issue not to reduce the battery life time especially when the communication speed is faster than 1 Gbps data-rate. This research will contain multi-displinary study where we are doing to design radio-frequency integrated circuits, antennas, microwave impulse circuits and customized test structures to study the low-power multi-Gbps UWB-IR. Low-power multi-Gbps UWB-IR at license free bands are going to be investigated for widespread public benefit.
