چکیده

In this paper, the conditions and performance of ideal RAKE reception for time hopping UltraWideband (UWB) investigated. Owing to the complex propagation phenomena and specific structure of UWB signals, new problems relevant to the operation of RAKE receivers arise. This motivates us to reconsider the conditions under which a RAKE receiver can work effectively with negligible interference between fingers. Key findings are that the conditions not only relate to the property of time hopping codes, but also modulation methods. An analytical technique is introduced to derive explicit expressions of RAKE performance for various combining methods for a lognormal fading channel. Numerical results show that RAKE reception can largely improve the performance, and equal gain combining has comparable performance to maximum ratio combining.

Performance of RAKE Reception for Ultra Wideband Signals in a Lognormal-fading Channel

RAKE reception for Ultra Wideband is crucial as the radiated power is restricted to be very low and there exist many resolvable multipath components. In this paper, the effectiveness of RAKE reception is investigated analytically. First, the conditions under which the interference in the RAKE fingers can be ignored are discussed. Then a method is introduced to derive the explicit expression of ...

Energy Detection of Unknown Signals over Composite multipath/shadowing Fading Channels

In this paper, the performance analysis of an energy detector is exploited over composite multipath/shadowing fading channels, which is modeled by Rayleigh-lognormal (RL) distribution. Based on an approximate channel model which was recently proposed by the author, the RL envelope probability density function (pdf) is approximated by a finite sum of weighted Rayleigh pdfs. Relying on this inter...

On Rake Reception of Ultra Wideband Signals over Multipath Channels from Energy Capture Perspective

Performance of Rake reception of Ultra Wideband (UWB) signals is evaluated from energy capture perspective. In addition to ordinary all Rake (ARake) and selective Rake (SRake) receivers which are considered in conventional spread spectrum communications, we introduce optimum ARake and SRake receivers which include the estimation of delay of the combining multipaths. Impact of pulse-width is dis...

Performance of an Optimally Spaced PPM Ultra-Wideband System with Direct Sequence Spreading for Multiple Access

In this paper, we analyze the error performance of an ultra-wideband (UWB) system with pulse position modulation (PPM) for data modulation and direct sequence (DS) spreading for multiple access in indoor lognormal fading channels. A RAKE receiver is used to combine a subset of the resolvable multipath components using the maximal ratio combining technique. Inter-path and multiple-access interfe...
