Performance analysis of a spectrally compliant ultra-wideband pulse design

We present a performance analysis of an ultra-wideband (UWB) system. The UWB system utilizes a new pulse design that made the performance analysis possible, since the new pulse not only has a short duration to reduce collision, but is also spectrally compliant to the recent U.S. Federal Communications Commission regulation on UWB systems. We present the performance analysis of UWB systems based on different pulse shapes and number of users. New simulation results on multiuser performance of the impulse radio are also presented.
