Abstract:

In this article, a novel transmit-reference (TR) signaling scheme is proposed for ultra-wideband (UWB) system, where by invoking m-sequence codes the reference and data pulses can be transmitted side by side to increase the data rate. This structure enables demodulation with a simple and practical autocorrelation receiver despite existence of severe inter-pulse interference (IPI). To evaluate detection performance of the new designs, closed-form expression for bit error probability (BRP) is theoretically derived and simulation results confirm the analytical results. In addition, the proposed scheme can be extended to M-ary systems to further improve the data rate and power efficiency.
