  • UWB channel estimation using new generating TR transceivers
    Patent number: 7970047
    Abstract: The present invention presents a simple and novel channel estimation scheme for UWB communication systems. As disclosed herein, the present invention maximizes the extraction of information by incorporating a new generation of transmitted-reference (Tr) transceivers that utilize a single reference pulse(s) or a preamble of reference pulses to provide improved channel estimation while offering higher Bit Error Rate (BER) performance and data rates without diluting the transmitter power.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 27, 2006
    Date of Patent: June 28, 2011
    Assignee: Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC
    Inventors: Faranak Nekoogar, Farid U. Dowla, Alex Spiridon, Peter C. Haugen, Dave M. Benzel
