Haimovich, Leonard J. Cimini, Jr, Jinyun Zhang TR2003-66 December 2003 Abstract UWB systems based on impulse radio have the potential to provide very high data rates over short distances. In this paper, a new pulse shape is presented that satisfies the FCC spectral mask. Using this pulse, the link budget is calculated to quantify the relationship between data rate and distance. It is shown that UWB can be a good candidate for high rate transmission over short ranges, with the capability for reliably transmitting 100 Mbps over distances at about 10 meters.

Crest factor is a measure of a waveform, such as alternating current, sound or complex RF waveform, . As a power ratio, PAPR is showing the ratio of peak values to the normally expressed in average value. decibels (dB). Crest Factor is defined as the peak . When expressed in decibels, amplitude of the waveform divided by Crest Factor and PAPR are the RMS value of the waveform equivalent . The peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) is the peak amplitude squared (giving the peak power) divided by the RMS value squared (giving the average power). It is the square of the crest factor Peak Distribution . The Hybrid HD Radio™ system uses up to 534 Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexed (OFDM) subcarriers modulated at equally spaced frequencies and 90 degrees to one another. Statistically, with this number of orthogonally opposed subcarriers, there can and will occasionally be very high amplitude peaks due to vector summation of the carriers.

  • Spectral Re-Growth Was Coined to Describe Intermodulation Products Generated When a Digital Transmitter Is Added to an Analog Transmission System
    Shively Labs® Spectral Regrowth Abstract Intermodulation products, or spurs, can develop within the analog and digital transmitters in combined systems using high-level injection. In some cases, spurs can result in sub-optimal signal quality or even cause stations to interfere with each other’s signals. The term spectral re-growth was coined to describe intermodulation products generated when a digital transmitter is added to an analog transmission system. In the early days of digital implementation, external filtering was often used to eliminate or reduce interference. As the technology has evolved, however, only subtle adjustments to the system, such as the addition of a fine-match- ing transformer to the dummy load, have proven necessary to reduce distortion and interference to meet the FCC’s digital FM mask. There are two sets of spurs that have to be dealt with. The first set of spurs is generated within a digital transmitter as the two sidebands interact. The second set of spurs is also generated in the digital transmitter and is a product of each digital sideband combining with the analog signal. The signal level of these spurs is a function of the isola- tion between the analog and digital transmitters. This paper provides a basic overview of how high-level injectors work, their weaknesses, and how they can best be optimized, as is essential to the design, installation, tuning and operation of a modern analog/digital FM station.

In this position paper, we present an overview Bof FCC’s pioneering work framing TV white space rules that allows unlicensed access by secondary users while protecting licensed primary users. The core contribution of this paper is an in-depth analysis of FCC’s TV white space regulations (often treated as a global template). We argue that FCC’s current white space regulations does not achieve the desired balance between effectively promoting unlicensed secondary access and providing adequate protection of the primary. As more countries around the world look at framing white space regulations, we argue for incorporating a more flexible design that can catalyze a white space device ecosystem to flourish, similar to Wi-Fi.
