Ultra-Wideband Transmitted-Reference Impulse Radio System With Multiple Pulse Types

In this paper, we analyze the performance of transmitted-reference (TR) impulse radio (IR) system with multiple pulse types, using the autocorrelation receiver (AcR) instead of Rake receiver. We obtain the exact expression of symbol error probability (SEP) without considering of the inter-frame interference (IFI) and multiple access interference (MAI). Then we discuss the capability of multi-pulse TR-IR system against the IFI. By observing the result of simulation, we find that the multi-pulse TR-IR system can achieve better BEP performance than the conventional single pulse system in the IFI environment.
