Abstract
This paper proposed a new impulse radio ultra wideband (IR-UWB) signal to reduce interference on narrowband systems at high usage 5.2 GHz frequency. The combination of 4th and 5th order derivatives of Gaussian pulses were employed to generate the signal so that satisfy the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) mask. The genetic algorithm technique was used to find the pulse optimized parameters. In this paper, spectrum was optimized by changing the shape factor (sigma) and amplitude of Gaussian pulses so that the transmitted power spectrum density was minimized at a frequency of 5.2 GHz and maximized at the other frequencies from 3.1 to 10.6 GHz according to the FCC mask. The signal was applied in an IR-UWB transceiver system with binary-phase shift keying modulation. The IR-UWB waveform is generated by a programmable digital to analog based circuit. The proposed system was compared with conventional IR-UWB systems at the same condition. The simulation results in multipath channel showed that the proposed system not only reduced interference with the narrowband system, but also this was robust against narrowband interference at 5.2 GHz frequency.
