Abstract

Ultra wide bandwidth impulse radio occupies huge bandwidth from near DC to up to a few GHz. This suggests that many coexisting communication systems working simultaneously at different regions of impulse radio´s bandwidth cause interference. The effects of an arbitrary external interference as SNR and bit error rate degradation of multiple access UWB radio versus interference frequency is theoretically evaluated and pulse shape design for narrow band interference rejection is presented. Using doublet pulses, it is shown how narrow bandwidth interference is mitigated significantly. Effects of amplitude mismatches and gap time offset from the nominal value in a doublet pulse are investigated.
