Performance of Ultra-Wideband Transmission over 60GHz WPAN Channel

Abstract

In this paper we evaluate the system performance and outage probability of impulse radio ultra-wideband (UWB) transmission over the practical 60GHz wireless personal area network (WPAN) channel. The modulation scheme employed is DS-BPSK. A general system capacity and performance evaluation approach based on moment generation function (MGF) is introduced. Based on the current IEEE wireless personal area network (WPAN) standard documents, different transmission scenarios have been explored and the performances with RAKE reception has been obtained. The channel model is based on the recent work of IEEE 802.15 WPAN group. Analysis on symbol error probability (SEP) and outage probabilities are provided and numerical results are given to illustrate the system performance
