Abstract

A new energy detection ultra-wideband system based on pulse width modulation is proposed. The bit error rate (BER) performance of this new system is slightly worst than that of a pulse position modulation (PPM) system in additive white Gaussian noise channels. In multipath channels, this system does not suffer from cross-modulation interference as PPM, so it can achieve better BER performance than PPM when cross-modulation interference occurs. In addition, when synchronisation errors occur, this system is more robust than PPM.
