Channel Coding and Estimation for Ultra-Wideband Radios

摘要

In order to access the viability of ultra-wideband communications for military applications, a framework for accurately analyzing system performance is required. This research project addresses the need for a tractable, outdoor ultra-wideband (UWB) channel model which will provide the foundation for performance evaluation an and the examination of various design tradeoffs that exist at the physical layer The other major thrusts of the research include channel estimation and error control coding which are essential to the successful realization of and implementation of UWB communication systems.
