Performance of MISO Time Reversal Ultra-Wideband over an 802.15.3a Channel Model

This paper analyzes the performance of a baseband multiple-input single-output (MISO) time reversal ultra-wideband system (TR-UWB) over the IEEE 802.15.3a channel model. Two scenarios are considered, CM1 based on LOS (0-4 m) channel measurements and CM3 based on NLOS (4-10 m) channel measurements. A semi-analytical performance expression is derived and compared with simulation results in terms of the number of antenna elements, number of users, and transmission rate. The results show that the system performance is improved with an increase in the number of transmit antenna elements and that additional equalization and multiple access enhancement schemes are necessary for high transmission rates.
