UWB Interference Mitigation Using Multi-carrier Templates

Performance degradation of the UWB communication system due to interference from other services is a major issue. To reduce the effect of interference, the usage of modified template in the UWB transceiver and its multi-carrier representation has recently been reported. In this paper we extend the study to include the impact of waveform and its representation with multi-carrier templates, at both transmitter and receiver ends on the system performance in the presence of wideband and ultra wideband interference. The novelty of this work relates to the consideration of different modulation schemes, pulse waveforms, detection techniques as well as representation of symbols with multiple pulses and their effects, on the UWB system performance
