Introduction to Impulse Radio
UWB Seamless Access Systems
Hans-Juergen Pirch, HID Global
Frank Leong, NXP Semiconductors
This technical white paper was written on behalf of the FiRa Consortium and presented at the
Fraunhofer SIT ID:SMART Workshop held February 19 and 20, 2020 in Darmstadt, Germany.
Abstract
In this paper we present an overview on the development and standardization of ultra-wideband
systems, technical aspects of the IEEE 802.15.4 standard, and improvements made by the 802.15.4z
amendment. We also explain the basic workings of a physical access system, the desired seamless
access experience and how ultra-wideband technology can enable it. In addition, we briey compare
ultra-wideband to facial recognition access systems. We conclude by mentioning how ultra-wideband
technology may extend to other related applications.
1) Introduction
1.1 Scope
Impulse Radio Ultra-Wideband (IR-UWB) systems have received signicant media attention
throughout 2019. This is due to announcements from high prole companies that they are
either investing in, or have already released this technology in their new products. Some
examples of this are Apple’s iPhone 11 and the Car Connectivity Consortium press release.

In this paper we provide an overview of this technology and illustrate one of the most popular use-
cases, seamless access, in more detail.

1.2 A Brief History
UWB stands for ultra-wideband and this general term applies to any radio communication system
that employs a wide bandwidth, typically dened as either a 10 dB bandwidth greater than 20% of
the center frequency or greater than 500 MHz in absolute terms [Itur06]. Most of the recent research
and work in this eld relates to IR-UWB systems in particular, meaning systems that employ very short
duration / high bandwidth pulses for their communication. This paper primarily refers to such systems,
so the term UWB is often used synonymously with IR-UWB, even if not explicitly stated.
UWB systems are not new. Rather, they are the oldest form of radio communication. In 1887
Heinrich Hertz built the rst experimental spark-gap transmitter to prove Maxwell’s prediction of
electromagnetic waves [Huur03]. Guglielmo Marconi later used impulse transmissions in his telegraph
systems, including the famous transatlantic transmissions in 1901.
Approximately fty years after Marconi’s inventions, impulse radio transmissions gained some traction
in radar applications, primarily for military purposes [Neko05].
In the early 1990s Robert Scholtz and Moe Win started to collaborate at the University of Southern
California, providing the basis for UWB wireless networks. They were the rst to demonstrate
superiority of UWB in multipath environments due to its resilience to fading and interference.

As interest in the commercialization of UWB increased, an extensive study was conducted by the U.S.
Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which led to the authorization of the commercial use of
UWB for selected applications in February 2002 [Neko05]. The amount of bandwidth for development
of commercial UWB technology was unprecedented and represents the widest band available for
license free radio use today (7.5 GHz of useable spectrum bandwidth). The radiated power of such
systems was strictly limited to prevent interference with other technologies.
1.3 Standardization
In addition to regulatory bodies such as the FCC and ETSI, other standard setting organizations like
the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) became involved in UWB systems early on.
Early commercial UWB efforts were focused on high data rate communications, using Orthogonal
Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS). Only later did
the focus shift to ranging and geolocation, and in 2004 the IEEE established the 802.15.4a task group
to develop a standard for such applications including an associated UWB physical layer (PHY). An
updated version of this PHY is included in [Ieee15]. The IEEE is currently developing a security extension
for IR-UWB systems in the form of the 802.15.4z amendment, thereby further improving the current
specication in multiple aspects, some of which we will discuss in this paper.
Building on this standardization activity, other bodies, such as the FiRa Consortium, have taken the IEEE
802.15.4 PHY and MAC specications as the basis for further extensions. These include the specication
of an application layer and service-specic protocols to support a variety of vertical market applications,
thus creating standards for end-to-end, interoperable UWB systems.

2) Radio Channel
2.1 Frequency Bands
The FCC authorizes the commercial use of UWB devices in the frequency band from 3.1 GHz to 10.6 GHz
with a very restricted Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) of -41.3 dBm/MHz [Fccx02] [Fccx05].
[Ieee15] divides this spectrum further into individual channels as shown in Figure 1 below.
The frequency band is divided into three separate groups:
• Band Group 0: sub-gigahertz channel
• Band Group 1: low-band HRP UWB channels
• Band Group 2: high-band HRP UWB channels
From Figure 1 it can be seen that not all of the FCC authorized bandwidth has been assigned to channels
within [Ieee15]. The frequency gap between Band Group 1 and Band Group 2 was introduced in order to
avoid interference between UWB and technologies in the 5 GHz ISM band (e.g., WiFi).
In Europe, further restrictions apply to Band Group 1, such that a device using those channels needs to
implement a Low Duty Cycle (LDC) mitigation technique as well as Detect And Avoid (DAA) mechanism
[Etsi16]. These additional restrictions make the use of Band Group 2 channels more attractive for
globally deployed UWB devices.
2.2 Pulse Shape
In order to match the UWB signal to the 500 MHz bandwidth of [Ieee15], the pulse shape needs to be
chosen carefully to ensure compliance to the [Ieee15] specied transmit spectrum mask and avoid
distortion of adjacent channels. Additionally, stringent regulatory transmit limits must be respected.
Figure 2 shows the [Ieee15] Root Raised Cosine (RRC) HRP UWB reference pulse with a center frequency
that corresponds to channel 9, as well as an upconverted 8
th
order Butterworth low pass pulse with a
-3 dB bandwidth of 500 MHz and a center frequency that corresponds to channel 5. Both of these
pulses would meet the requirements specied in [Ieee15] to be used for IR-UWB radios.
