UWB (Ultra Wide Band) is a radio technology used at very low energy levels for short-range, high-bandwidth communications using a large portion of the radio spectrum. But MAI (Multiple Access Interference) degrades the performance of UWB systems. To suppress this, an α-stable model along with Fama/Roll-McCulloch parameter estimation technique is used. This model adapts to the noise and interference in the environment and hence it forms a robust technique for adaptive receiver designs. But this technique shows BER performance clearly only in high SNR region. Hence matched filter techniques are proposed here. From simulation results, it is verified that the proposed method provides better BER than the linear and myriad filter detectors.
