Optimizing jammer model against PPM UWB non-coherent receiver

Abstract

Jamming is a major threat against wireless communications. In this paper, we evaluate the effect of jamming on an UWB link employing a PPM non-coherent receiver. We optimize the jammer parameters that are the central frequency and the bandwidth based on the metric of the signal-to-jamming ratio. The optimization depends on different system parameters such as the channel model and the integration time of the receiver.
