On the Performance of Multiple Pulse Multiple Delay UWB Modulation
Multiple access (MA) in UWB communication is an area of active research. In this paper we introduce and study the performance of a new MA scheme in the context of multiple transmitted-reference short duration (nsec) chirp pulses in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). The transmitted-reference (T-R) receiver is extended using multiple orthogonal pulses. The proposed UWB receiver samples the receiver autocorrelation function (ACF) at both zero- and non-zero lags, thus sampling and matching the shape of ACFs rather than just the shape of the received pulses. Sampling of non-zero ACF lags is a significant new approach. The scheme proposed in this paper is a step towards combining the multi-pulse approach and T-R modulation in a multiple access ultra wideband (MA-UWB) communications system. Improved bit error rate performance over a conventional zero-lag receiver (i.e. energy detection receiver) is demonstrated by simulation. Analytical expressions for the system BER are also derived and confirmed through simulations for the system.
