Abstract :
Performance of a multi-band OFDM UWB system employing two receive antennas is studied. Different antenna selection and combining methods, such as simple antenna selection, antenna selection per sub-carrier, equal gain combining and maximal ratio combining are considered. The packet error rate (PER) and the operating range of such systems is obtained using detailed realistic full-system Monte Carlo simulations, and are compared to those of a single antenna system. Simulation results show that the dual receive antenna systems provide significant gains for the higher data rate modes and moderate gains for the lower data rate modes of the multi-band OFDM UWB system
