Abstract

The paper describes technique for differential detection of Impulse Radio Ultra-Wideband (IR-UWB) Pulse Position Modulated (PPM) symbols. An expression for probability of error in noise is derived. The numerical results show the method´s performance enhancement compared to the energy detection in noise and considerable performance enhancement in multiuser interference. The method is applicable to the mandatory mode of the IEEE 802.15.6 Body Area Network (BAN) IR-UWB standard.
