Abstract

A time domain spreading method and apparatus for a UWB receiver are provided. Wherein, a series of received symbol signals are received by the UWB receiver, and transformed by the fast Fourier transform to obtain a series of transformed signals Y(m) according to one of the received symbol signals. Y(m)=Y 1 (m)+jY Q (m), and m is a positive integer more than zero. The real part and imaginary part of the transferred signals are exchanged and the exchanged signals are inversely outputted to obtain a plurality of despreading received data signals X(m), and X(m)=Y Q (−m)+jY 1 (−m).

Claims (9)

1. A time domain spreading method for a ultra-wide band (UWB) receiver, the UWB receiver being adapted to receive a series of multi-band orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexing (MB OFDM) symbol signals transmitted from a UWB transmitter, the UWB transmitter comprising a time domain spreading apparatus to exchange real part and imaginary part of a signal S(n)=P 1 (n)+jP Q (n) to obtain another signal R(n)=P Q (n)+jP 1 (n), wherein n is an integer, and the UWB receiver receives a series of symbol signals, the time domain spreading method for the UWB receiver comprising following steps:

performing a fast Fourier transform (FFT) to obtain a series of transformed signals Y(m) according to one of the received signals, wherein the Y(m)=Y 1 (m)+jY Q (m), and m is an integer; and

exchanging real part and imaginary part of the transformed signals, inversely outputting the exchanged signals to obtain a plurality of despreading received data signals X(m), wherein the X(m)=Y Q (−m)+jY 1 (−m).

3. The time domain spreading method for the UWB receiver of claim 1 , wherein the m is an integer from 1 to 128.

4. A time domain spreading apparatus of a ultra-wide band (UWB) receiver, the UWB receiver being adapted to receive a series of multi-band orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexing (MB OFDM) symbol signals transmitted from a UWB transmitter, the UWB transmitter comprising a time domain spreading apparatus to exchange real part and imaginary part of a signal S(n)=P 1 (n)+jP Q (n) to obtain another signal R(n)=P Q (n)+jP 1 (n), n being an integer larger than 0, the UWB receiver receiving a series of symbol signals, the UBW receiver further comprising a fast Fourier transformer coupled to the time domain spreading apparatus, the fast Fourier transformer performing a fast Fourier transform to obtain a series of transformed signals Y(m) according to one of the received signals, the Y(m)=Y 1 (m)+jY Q (m), the m being an integer larger than 0, wherein the time domain spreading method for the UWB receiver is characterized in exchanging real part and imaginary part of the transformed signals, inversely outputting the exchanged signals to obtain a plurality of despreading received data signals X(m), wherein the X(m)=Y Q (−m)+jY 1 (−m).

5. The time domain spreading apparatus of the UWB receiver of claim 4 , wherein the n is an integer from 1 to 128.

6. The time domain spreading apparatus of the UWB receiver of claim 4 , wherein the m is an integer from 1 to 128.
