Transmitter Architecture for Pulsed OFDM

Overview A multi-band OFDM UWB system is the leading proposal for the new IEEE 802.15.3a standard for wireless high bit-rate personal area networks. Pulsed OFDM is an enhancement to the multi-band OFDM system that offers better performance with lower complexity and a correspondingly reduced power consumption. In this paper, the implementation issues and pipeline structures of a pulsed OFDM transmitter are presented. In particular, architectural features of the system and its components are described and analyzed.

Ovum View: BT in pole position for wireless LAN

Subject to regulatory approval for commercial exploitation of the UK's licence-exempt ISM spectrum band. Also, the 2.4 GHz ISM band is already quite overcrowded with traffic from microwave ovens and Bluetooth devices among others.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Forget 'think different' - think 'non-linear'...

We would ensure the design of the engine gave maximum power for a given fuel consumption. For example, if we stretch an elastic band it will expand in direct proportion to the force being applied. We purposely concern ourselves with supporting...

Beyond Wi-Fi - the future of wireless networks

Instead of sending data out over a very small part of the spectrum, ultra wideband (UWB) sends out a signal over a much wider area. UWB connections with over 500Mbps have been demonstrated and manufacturers predict that over 1Gbps may be possible.

Radioactive: Bluetooth - survival of the fastest

The opposing technology approaches are orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) and direct sequence (DS)-UWB. This broad definition of UWB covers a number of different approaches and despite standardisation attempts by the IEEE, the future...

How to baseline power consumption

If you want to cut the amount of power your IT systems use, you first need to know current consumption. So there's a lot of adaptation that's taking place to help an organisation address the basic question of what the energy consumption is.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
