Closed BER expression of multi-user Ds UWB systems in indoor fading channel

摘要

The bit error rate (BER) performance of multi-user direct spreading bi-phase shift keying (DS-BPSK) direct impulse ultra wideband (UWB) systems is analyzed and simulated based on a statistical indoor multi-path fading channel model. The BER of the system is theoretically derived and given in closed form, which is expressed in terms of channel parameters and system parameters such as pulse width parameter, pulse repeat period, user number and pulse waveform. With this BER expression, the effect of these parameters on the system performance can be evaluated in a uniform way. Simulation results well match the theory numerical results, and prove that the multi-access interference (MAI) of DS-BPSK UWB is a normal distribution.
