Performance Enhancement of Rake-Receiver Using Continuous and Discrete Wavelet Transforms Analysis Through NLOS Propagation

摘要

In this paper, three levels of analysis and synthesis filter banks were used to create coefficients for a continuous wavelet transform (CWT) and discrete wavelet transform (DWT). The main property of these wavelet transform schemes is their ability to construct the transmitted signal across a log-normal fading channel over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). Wireless rake-receiver structure was chosen as a major application to reduce the inter- symbol interference (ISI) and to minimize the noise. In this work, a new scheme of rake receiver is proposed to receive indoor, multi-path components (MPCs) for ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless communication systems. Rake receivers consist of a continuous wavelet rake (CW-rake) and a discrete wavelet rake (DW-rake), and they use huge bandwidth (7.5 GHz), as reported by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). The indoor channel models chose for analysis in this research were the non line-of-sight (LOS) channel model (CM4 from 4 to 10 meters) to show the behavior of bit error rate (BER) with respect to signal-to noise ratio (SNR). Two types of rake receiver were used in the simulation, i.e., partial-rake and selective-rake receivers with the maximal ratio combining (MRC) technique to capture the energy of the signal from the output of the rake's fingers.
