Performance analysis of code-shifted reference UWB radio

In this paper, the bit-error rate (BER) performance of the code-shifted reference (CSR) transceiver for impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) systems is analyzed theoretically, and the validation of the theoretical analysis results are verified with computer simulations. Furthermore, by comparing the BER performance of the CSR, TR and FSR transceivers, this paper shows that as a low complexity transceiver employing no delay element and no analog carrier, the CSR transceiver can achieve the same BER performance as the TR transceiver and much better BER performance than the FSR transceiver.
