Abstract

In this paper, we develop a composite pulse-multipath channel estimation approach for impulse radio-ultra wideband (IR-UWB) system. The approach is realized by means of the nearest neighbor (NN) estimation algorithm. This reconstructed signal is subsequently used as a reference template in a correlator-based detector. The bit error rate (BER) performance of the proposed approach is analyzed and compared to that of traditional correlator-based detector. Extensive simulations show that for different propagation scenarios and transfer rates, detectors based on NN composite pulse-multipath channel estimation outperform traditional correlator-based detector.
