Abstract :
This paper proposes a simple threshold estimation algorithm for a 1-bit ADC in a 1-bit IR-UWB receiver which uses binary output of the 1-bit ADC instead of measuring energy level of received signals. Theoretical model and computer simulation show that the performance of the proposed algorithm is similar to that of theoretically optimum one.
