On the anti-multipath performance of UWB signals in indoor environments

By simulating the transmitting and receiving of UWB pulse trains with different pulse durations in indoor environment, the anti-multipath performance of UWB signals in indoor environments is evaluated by statistical energy of the signal quality at various locations in a room such as in the corner. The effect of several typical materials used to construct a room on the anti-multipath performance of the UWB indoor wireless is also studied. For comparison, the anti-multipath performance of narrow-band digital signals is simulated in the same wireless environment.
