Performance analysis of UWB noncoherent receiver with block-coded modulation scheme

摘要

Recently, an energy efficient noncoherent receiver scheme, called codeword matching and signal aggregation (CMSA), has been proposed for ultra-wideband (UWB) communications. However, its optimality and analytical error performance have not been studied. This letter shows the CMSA receiver is the optimal receiver in the sense of generalized likelihood ratio test (GLRT) and presents closed-form upper bound expression for bit error probability (BEP).
