A modified code domain transmitted reference UWB system

  • Published:
Journal of Electronics (China)

Abstract

Based on the research on time domain and frequency domain transmitted reference Impulse Radio Ultra-WideBand (IR-UWB) system, this paper studies the optimization design for code domain transmitted reference IR-UWB system, and proposes a modified code domain transmitted reference IR-UWB system. The Bit Error Rate (BER) expressions for the modified system model in the condition of Additive White Gaussian Noise (AWGN) and multipath fading are deduced respectively. In addition, the performances of the modified system and the other three transmitted reference IR-UWB systems are simulated and compared. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that the performance of the modified system is superior to the other three systems.
