The Design of a High-Performance Network Transceiver for iNETLu, Cheng, Cook, Paul, Hildin, John, Roach, John 10 1900 (has links)
ITC/USA 2008 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Fourth Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 27-30, 2008 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, California / A critical element of the proposed iNET architecture is the development of a telemetry network that provides two-way communication between multiple nodes on both the ground and in the air. Conventional airborne telemetry is based on IRIG-106 Chapter 4 and provides only a serial streaming data path from the aircraft to the ground. The network-centric architecture of iNET requires not only a duplex communication link between the ground and the test article, but also a communication link that provides higher bandwidth performance, higher spectrum efficiency, and a transport environment that is capable of fully packetized Internet Protocol. This paper describes the development path followed by TTC in the implementation of its nXCVR-2000G, an OFDM 802-11a-based iNET-ready IP transceiver.

Design of Up/Down Conversion Mixer for IEEE 802.11a ApplicationZeng, Yu-Shan 30 July 2012 (has links)
The IEEE 802.11a has become the mainstream protocol used in modern wireless communication system due to its high propagation rate of data (54 Mb/s). To meet high propagation rates, the communication devices used in IEEE 802.11a protocol usually present a high conversion gain and a high linearity (denoted as third order intercept point, IIP3). The IIP3 of conventional up- and down-conversion mixers are only about 0 dBm and -5 dBm, which fail to achieve a high propagation rate of data. This thesis utilizes the TSMC 0.18 µm CMOS technology to design and fabrication up- and down-conversion mixers with very high linearity for IEEE 802.11a application.
The proposed high-linearity up-conversion mixer with 1.01 mm ¡Ñ 0.85 mm chip size and its wide bandwidth (5~6 GHz) is well suited for IEEE 802.11a application. To enhance the linearity and bandwidth, a transconductor stage with gm-boosted structure, a switch stgae with LO-body grounded structure and a load stage with shunt peaking structure are adopted in this research. Under 5.2/5.4/5.8 GHz operating frequencies, the implemented up-conversion mixer demonstrates a high conversion gain of 6.8/7.1/6.3 dB and a high linearity of 8.9/9/13.2 dBm, respectivly. In addition, a moderate consuming power (6.86 mW) of such mixer can be achieved at 1.2 V supply voltage.
On the other hand, this thesis also designed and fabricated a high-linearity down-conversion mixer with chip size of 1.02 mm ¡Ñ 0.86 mm and 5.2 GHz center frequency. To improve the linearity and isolation and reduce the high-order noise, a transconductor stage with dual-gate structure and a load stage with RC-tank structure are adopted in this research. According to the EM-simulation resutls, the proposed down-conversion mixer presents a moderate conversion gain of 6 dB and a high linearity of 0.8 dBm. Additionly, a moderate consuming power (6.75 mW) of such mixer can be achieved at 1.8 V supply voltage.

The Performance Evaluation of OFDM Based WLAN (IEEE 802.11a and 802.11g)Shaikh, Kamil Mohiuddin January 2010 (has links)
ABSTRACT In the past decade there has been a steady growth in development and implementation of wireless Local Area Networks and emerged as in the largest sectors of the telecommunication industry. Wireless local area network (WLANs) provides connectivity, mobility, and much higher performance and achievable data rate. WLAN is a new medium of access technology in the Local Area Network (LAN) world. Mostly WLAN applications are used in public sectors such as airports, banks, hotels, offices, city centres because of the flexibility of the people. Orthongonal Frequency Division Multiplexing OFDM has been adopted by IEEE 802.11’s standard as a transmission technique for high data rate in WLANs. Now IEEE 802.11 standard has been expanded to a family of WLAN standards. 802.11a and 802.11g both are used Orthongonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) but operate in different frequency bands. It is shown that 802.11a provides high speed throughout the entire coverage area and long term solution however it does not provide better solution in most cases as compared to IEEE 802.11g. Matlab Simulation model based on IEEE 802.11a/g using different modulation and demodulation techniques such as BPSK, QPSK and QAM to analysis the best performance of IEEE 802.11a/g with implementation of OFDM. Keywords: Orthongonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM), IEEE 802.11s family, Wireless Local Area Network, Simulation, MATLAB / Summary The objective of this research is to examine the performance of the IEEE 802.11a and IEEE 802.11g WLAN comparing through OFDM modulation techniques. It is found that IEEE 802.11a/g provides similar quality except IEEE 802.11g provides wider range but range is the controversial topic in WLAN medium. In the other hand IEEE 802.11a provides more channels in 5 GHz bands as well as have a good enough signal qualities but there is range limitation factor. Range limitation in the enterprise and public sectors can be adjusting through installations more APs. The main disadvantage of the 802.11g is the frequency band is common and interference from the other networking technology such as Bluetooth, 2.04 GHz cordless phone and IEEE 802.11a avoid this interference because its operate in 5.GHz bands. Consequently, all the simulation is a comparison between simulated BER for a computer system and theoretical BER for serial systems it has been proved through simulation results that theoretical BER and simulated BER under AWGN are good agreement with each other. It means that I and Q points on constellation are much closer to each other the data error can be reduced as well as transmission easily influenced to noise. 64 QAM modulations are much better than 16 QAM when BER decrease SNR will be increase because signal is stronger than noise. 64 QAM modulations need higher bandwidth and give an excellent data rates as compared to 16 QAM.

Approved for public release, distribution is unlimited / As the need to send larger amounts of information increases, the military is looking into viable solutions to push this information throughout the battle space. IEEE 802.11a wireless LAN network presents an attractive high-speed solution by providing data rates up to 54 Mbps. At the same time, wireless LAN introduces increased security risk due to its vulnerability to exploitation of the wireless LAN physical layer. This research will develop a prototype system using low cost hardware and software solution to detect and process wireless IEEE 802.11a signals. Using the prototype, performance data will be collected to determine whether IEEE 802.11a is a feasible option as a high-speed information network for military use. Additionally, the performance data collected will provide a good basis for predicting the expected performance in an operational scenario and provide valuable information for proper deployment planning. / Major, Republic of Singapore Air Force

UWB and WLAN Coexistence: a Comparison of Interference Reduction TechniquesKajale, Nikhil Vijay 01 April 2005 (has links)
Ultra Wideband (UWB) is an emerging technology for use in the indoor wireless personal area networks and ad hoc networks. The more common form of UWB which uses sub-nanosecond pulses without any form of carrier signal is considered in this research. UWB signals have a large bandwidth with allocated frequency spectrum from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz and maximum power restricted to -41dBm/MHz. The IEEE 802.11a is a popular standard for high data rate wireless local area networks (WLANs). The operating frequency of the IEEE 802.11a WLAN is 5 GHz which is right inside the allocated UWB frequency spectrum.
One of the main obstacles facing the implementation of UWB devices is the challenge of reducing interference caused by UWB to other systems and vice versa. The potential operating areas/frequencies of the IEEE 802.11a WLAN and UWB systems overlap and therefore the problem of UWB interference to the IEEE 802.11a WLANs and vice versa becomes significant.
In this research we have focused on studying the effect of UWB interference on IEEE 802.11a WLANs. The different UWB parameters that affect the interference caused by UWB to IEEE 802.11a WLAN have been considered for determining their effect on the performance of the IEEE 802.11a WLAN. The effect of UWB multipath on the performance of the IEEE 802.11a WLAN has been observed. The UWB parameters have also been compared based on their effect on the performance of the IEEE 802.11a system in the presence of UWB multipath. Additionally, two different interference mitigation techniques that reduce UWB interference to the IEEE 802.11a WLANs have been studied.
