UWB regulatory compliant synchronization signal for indoor broadcast

Synchronization is an essential problem in numerous fields of application such as for communication and localization purposes. Emergent ultra wide band (UWB) technology based on impulse radio (UWB-IR) is currently investigated to broadcast synchronization signals in indoor environments, thus paving technically the way for the emergence of location based services. It considers that short duration pulses emission offer a high potential to recover reliable timing accuracy, but also to propagate efficiently in constraint environments. In this paper, we propose a basic signal structure implementation dedicated to multiple sources synchronization purposes. Main signal parameters influence will be covered and analyzed according to UWB current regulatory requirements. Based on an implemented overall transmission link and its regulatory compliant set of signal characteristics, radio coverage will then be evaluated.
