Abstract
In this paper, a closed form expression for the bit error rate performance of the multi-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) ultra wideband (UWB) communication system in the presence of interference is analytically analysed. The considered channel is the Saleh-Valenzuela multipath fading channel model. The interference is modelled as the OFDM-based IEEE802.11n wireless local area networks (WLANs). The dependence of the bit error rate performance of the MB-OFDM UWB communication system on the transmission range along with the impact of interference is also analytically investigated. Numerical results are validated with the aid of simulations. It is shown that the range performance of the MB-OFDM UWB communication system is severely deteriorated due to the presence of such interference.
