Similar to Both UWB and DSSS
• Like UWB– Sinc pulse in baseband– Ranging– Multipath rejection– Wideband modulation
• Like DSSS– 2.4 GHz global band and others– Outdoor use allowed– Correlative system– Processing gain

How to Code Using CSS
Modulation techniques:
On-Off-Keying (OOK), for example:
Up-Chirp = „1“; Null = „0“allows 2 independent coexisting networks
Superposed Chirps (4 possible states):
Null/Up-Chirp/Down-Chirp/Superposition of Up- and Down-Chirpallows one network with double the data rate

Scalable Technology
Frequency spreading:
Basic information theory tells us that CSS benefits whenthe bandwidth B of the Chirp pulse is much higher than thedata rate R: B >> R
Time spreading:
The data rate can scale independently of the BT product.The duration T of the Chirp pulse can be chosen freely. A signal with avery high BT product can be achieved, which transforms into a very robust signal in the channel.

Scalable Technology (continued)
Excellent range – data rate scalability:
Preferred for system where range and/or data rate requirement varies rapidly.
Especially promising for wideband or ultra wideband systemswhere the available frequency bandwidth B is much higher thanthe data rate R

Key Properties of CSSHigh robustness:
Due to the high BT product and their asynchronous nature, chirppulses are very resistant against disturbances.
Multipath resistant:Due to the frequency spreading of chirp pulses, CSS is very immune against multipath fading; CSS can even take advantage of RF echoes.
Long range:Due to high system gain, as well as noise, interference and fading resistance, CSS has exceptional range for a given transmit power and conditions.
Location awareness:CSS gives the ability to determine the distance (range) between two stations.

Key Properties of CSS
Low power consumption:CSS allows the designer to choose a simple analog implementation, which often consumes much less power.
Low PHY latency:With CSS a wireless connection can be established very quickly because synchronizations on carrier frequency and data clock are not required.
Antenna position:Reception is possible with almost any antenna position due to the wide bandwidth.

Coexistence Properties of CSS
Immune to in-band interferer:Scalable processing gain (determined by BT product of the chirp)enables selection of appropriate immunity level against in-bandinterferences.
Example:Duration time T of the chirp 1 µsCenter frequency of the chirp (ISM band) 2.442 GHzProcessing gain, BT product of the chirp 18 dB
Eb/N0 at detector input (BER=0.001) 14 dB In-band carrier to interferer ratio (C/I @ BER=0.001) -4 dB

Mobility Properties of CSS
Resistance against Doppler effect:The Doppler effect causes a frequency shift of the chirp pulse, whichintroduces a negligible shift of the baseband signal on the time axis.
Example:Data rate 1 MbpsRelative speed between transmitter and receiver2000 km/hFrequency shift due to Doppler effect 4.52 kHzEquivalent shift of the message on the time axis 56.5 ps
Note:2000 km/h is equivalent to 1243 miles/hour

Outdoor Link-Budget
• Link budget without cable losses or antenna-gain, best case: LBbest = 103 dB
• Outdoor free space propagation: distance ~ link-budget with = 2.1 … 2.3
• But:
Outdoor propagation is not always free space propagation, due to e.g. hills, trees, houses, …
• Therefore:
Measurements had to be done… 0 500 1000 1500 2000 2500 3000
