Abstract

In this paper, a time-domain measurement in the UWB through-wall propagation environment is performed. The Saleh-Valenzuela (S-V) model is used for the UWB through-wall propagation channel modeling in the frequency band of 1-2GHz. The model in the given scene is built and analyzed to investigate the channel characteristics and estimate the key parameters. The bit error rate (BER) analysis is used as a means of evaluating the performance of the estimated parameters. Two Monte Carlo simulations based on our channel parameters and IEEE 802.15.3a´s are carried out to obtain the numerical BERs. From the comparison of the measured BERs and numerical BERs, it can be verified that in the UWB through-wall propagation environment, the key parameters estimated in the time-domain measurement are closer to the practical situation.
