Preamble Design for Millimeter-Wave Single Carrier WPANs

In this paper we present preamble design for millimeter-wave single carrier wireless personal area networks. Several factors are considered for a successful preamble design, such as sequence complexity, operation range, associated delay, robustness to frequency offset. Complementary Golay sequences are selected, which combine flexibility and performance. Simulation results indicate at optimum threshold level, it is possible to reduce both false alarm probability and misdetection probability less than 10^-3 in non-line-of-sight channels.
