Abstract

An Ultra Wide Band (UWB) transmitting and receiving device that includes a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) for implementing a DC offset cancellation algorithm, an adder for adding a baseband transmission signal from the transmitter and a calibration signal produced by the algorithm of the DSP, a modulator for modulating the signal from the adder, a transmitter amplifier for amplifying the modulated signal, a coupler for applying the output of the transmitter to the receiver, and a switch for selectively connecting the output of the coupler to the input of the receiver.

Claims (11)

1. An Ultra Wide Band (UWB) transmitting and receiving device including a receiver and a transmitter, the device comprising:

a coupler connected to the transmitter for applying an output signal of the transmitter to the receiver;

a switch connected between the coupler and the receiver for selectively applying an output signal of the coupler to the receiver, and feeding back the output signal of the coupler to a Digital Signal Processing (DSP) device;

the Digital Signal Processing (DSP) device connected to the receiver for feeding back the output signal of the coupler through the receiver, generating a calibration signal using the feed-back output signal of the coupler according to a DC offset cancellation algorithm and applying the calibration signal to an adder included in the transmitter;

the adder connected to the DSP device for adding a baseband transmission signal from the transmitter and the calibration signal

a modulator for modulating a signal from the adder; and

a transmitter amplifier for amplifying the modulated signal.

2. The device according to claim 1 , wherein the DSP device estimates a carrier feed-through component caused by the transmitter using a DC offset caused by the receiver and an original form of a signal sampled in the transmitter, and regards the estimated value as an error caused by incompleteness of the transmitter.

3. The device according to claim 2 , further comprising:

a receiver amplifier for amplifying a transmission signal received from the coupler; and

a modulator for modulating the amplified signal from the receiver amplifier and outputting the modulated signal to the DSP device.
