Abstract

Multipath propagation for the indoor wireless channel is very complicated and difficult to predict. Several papers have been written attempting to apply an analytical model for this channel to help systems engineers evaluate various architectural components of a wireless system, including modulation, multiple access, and waveform design techniques, without having to resort to empirical data collection. This paper attempts to apply one of these analytical models, known as the Δ-K model, to help study the performance of an ultra wide band (UWB) system and look at performance trade-offs for different multilevel modulations as well as the benefits of RAKE reception
