Abstract: BER analysis of Impulse Radio Ultra Wideband (IRUWB) pulse modulations over S-V channel model is proposed in this paper. The UWB pulse is Gaussian monocycle pulse modulated using Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) and Pulse Position Modulation (PPM). The channel model is generated from a modified S-V model. Bit-error rate (BER) is measured over several of bit rates. The result shows that all modulation are appropriate for both LOS and NLOS channel, but PAM gives better performance in bit rates and SNR. Moreover, as standard of speed has been given for UWB, the communication is appropriate with high bit rates in LOS channel.
Abstract: This paper presents a simple and original method for
the generation of short monocycle pulses based on the transient
response of a passive band-pass filter. The recorded sub-nanosecond
pulses show a good symmetry and a small ringing (13 % of the peak
amplitude). Their spectral density covers the range 3.1 GHz to
10.6 GHz. The possibility to adapt the pulse spectral density to the
indoor FCC frequency mask is demonstrated with a prototype
working at a reduced frequency (FCC/1000). A detection technique is
proposed.
