  • Abstract
    In this paper, we investigate the impetus for a Rake receiver together with an equalizer for UWB communication systems and then develop a novel Rake combining equalizer which employs a blind adaptive algorithm to improve the system performance by mitigating multi-path distortion and suppressing inter-symbol interference (ISI). Simulations have verified the usefulness of this structure in UWB communication systems
