Abstract
Energy detectors have the advantage of simple structure and inexpensive price. Due to the low signal to noise ratio (SNR) of the received signal in ultra-wideBand (UWB) system, these desirable advantages can be achieved at the expense of non-trivial performance degradation. This paper presents a phase compensation (PC) technique to improve the performance of energy detector in UWB systems. In PC-UWB, the frequency dependent phase of the system response at the transmitter is extracted and its opposite spectral phase is used as prefilter. Because of Low complexity, cost and energy consumption of energy detectors, PC techniques has extensive potential for future of UWB communication systems. Measurement results show that the use of PC-UWB leads to signal power concentration at the receiver, which reduces the number of RAKE fingers required in coherent detection as well as achieves a higher data rate with less intersymbol interference. However time reversal UWB can achieve secure data transmission, but its performance is worse than PC-UWB. Simulation results show that phase compensation reduces the inter symbol interference impacts. Therefore it is possible to use a simple receiver with insignificant performance degradation. It is also shown that PC-UWB considerably outperforms TR-UWB and has satisfying performance in SNR greater than 13 dB.
