This paper presents a theoretical analysis of the bit error rate (BER) performance of binary pulse-position-modulation (PPM) UWB radio in multipath channels. The BER formula is derived. Particular attention is paid to the effect of the propagation time-delay on the BER performance. It is also noted that, for the PPM scheme, the multipath propagation time-delay may lead to unbalanced BERs over \"0\"-\"1\" in some particular multipath channels.","PeriodicalId":272053,"journal":{"name":"2002 IEEE Conference on Ultra Wideband Systems and Technologies (IEEE Cat.

Shot noise is perhaps best known as the time-dependent fluctuations in electrical current caused by the discrete nature of the electron charge in such devices as tunnel diodes, Schottky barrier diodes and P-N junctions. Here, the discrete nature of the UWB-excited impulse response of a victim receiver is shown, under mild conditions, to behave as shot noise. The statistical properties of the receiver output are then compared with measurement results obtained to date by the National Telecommunications and Information Administration (NTIA), Stanford University and the Department of Transportation (DOT), and others.","PeriodicalId":272053,"journal":{"name":"2002 IEEE Conference on Ultra Wideband Systems and Technologies (IEEE Cat.

Non-ideal impulse characteristics are then considered and the optimum pulse derived for either minimal energy (highest spectral bandwidth). The motivation is to show that filtered pulses can achieve significant spectral control in direct baseband UWB signals for high data-rate communications.","PeriodicalId":272053,"journal":{"name":"2002 IEEE Conference on Ultra Wideband Systems and Technologies (IEEE Cat.

However, when compared with measurement data, inconsistencies are observed between theoretical model and practical measurement. In this paper, a novel statistical UWB channel model is proposed based on current measurement results, one which overcomes the inconsistencies of previous modelings. Some key features of the proposed model include: (1) the arrival time of each resolvable path is calculated using a 2-state Markov model-each state of the model characterizes a different likelihood of arrival based on a unique Poisson distribution (this accounts for the clustering property of paths observed in UWB channel measurements), and (2) individual multipath components demonstrate powers that follow a gamma distribution with an average power determined by an exponential decay. Furthermore, the proposed channel model represents a generalized model. By simply updating the initial parameter setting, other commonly used channel models (both narrowband and wideband) can be derived from our channel model.","PeriodicalId":272053,"journal":{"name":"2002 IEEE Conference on Ultra Wideband Systems and Technologies (IEEE Cat.
