Performance of a multiband impulse radio UWB architecture

In this paper a highly flexible and scaleable multiband impulse radio UWB architecture for high data rates is described and evaluated. The investigations are mainly focused on on-off-keying modulation combined with a low-complexity non-coherent energy detection receiver. Various representative system configurations are defined and examined by simulation, studying effects of pulse generation, filtering, synchronization, demodulation and channel coding.
