Abstract

Low-complexity low-rate super-orthogonal turbo codes (SOTC) are proposed in this work to replace the implicit repetition code (RC) in ultra-wide band impulse radio (UWB-IR) systems to improve the transmission range and system throughput. Various receivers, including the matched-filter and the RAKE receivers, are examined for data detection in the additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channel and the indoor IEEE 802.15.3a channels. The performance of SOTC-coded UWB with perfect and imperfect timing and channel information is analyzed and corroborated by computer simulation. It is demonstrated that the SOTC-based UWB-IR system can achieve significant performance improvement over the conventional direct-sequence UWB (DS-UWB) system encoded by RC over both ISI and ISI-free channels.
