Abstract :
In this paper a peak power reduction scheme by pulse repetition for ultra-wide band (UWB) impulse radio (IR) scheme is experimentally examined for obtaining interference immunity to RF sensitive systems such as medical devices. The effectiveness of the scheme is shown in terms of an improvement of bit error rate (BER) performance.
