A Study on Performance of an IR-UWB Receiver Based on Energy Detection

An energy detection-based impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) system is proposed in this study. The related synchronization process is investigated on the pulse and frame level respectively. According to the system structure, an optimal transmission mode is described in a typical indoor environment, which could take the balance in the system reliability and effectivity. Meanwhile, the referenced frame structure and transmission rate under certain environments are given in this optimal mode. System performance is tested by practical experiments, and the results show the usefulness of the optimal mode to the UWB system design.
