Abstract
The performance of two direct sequence ultra wideband (DS-UWB) communication systems is investigated. The first system is the classic DS-UWB system. The second is obtained by adding a forward error control codes (FEC), convolutional code. For the two systems, binary pulse amplitude modulation is applied. The performance of these two systems is analyzed in detail under AWGN channel. In our proposed coded scheme, we use soft output Viterbi algorithm (SOVA). The analysis shows that the coded DS-UWB system outperforms the DS-UWB system significantly, or more importantly, at a given bit error rate, the coding scheme increases the number of users by a factor which is logarithmic in the number of pulses used in DS UWB systems. Simulation results on the bit error rate of the proposed system indicates that the system is capable to work in lower SNR's and therefore supports higher data transmission rates compared to the previously proposed UWB communication systems.
