Abstract

In this paper, the performances of two singleband ultra wideband (UWB) systems, i.e., direct sequence UWB (DS-UWB) and UWB frequency modulation (UWB-FM) are studied in two different channel models to reveal an impact of a channel model on the system's performance. The applied channel models are the experimental wireless body area network (WBAN) channel model developed at the Centre for Wireless Communications (CWC), Finland, and the IEEE 802.15.6 channel model. The simulation results indicate that the choice of the WBAN channel model applied in the simulations has a major impact on the performance of UWB-FM, whereas it is not such a crucial in the case of DS-UWB.
