In this paper a highly flexible and scaleable multiband impulse radio UWB architecture for high data rates is described and evaluated. The investigations are mainly focused on on-off-keying modulation combined with a lowcomplexity non-coherent energy detection receiver. Various representative system configurations are defined and examined by simulation, studying effects of pulse generation, filtering, synchronization, demodulation and channel coding.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
