Abstract :
The paper analyses several modulation and detection pairs for Impulse-Radio Ultra-Wideband (IR-UWB) Body Area Networks (BANs). First, transceiver architectures with and without chirp pulse compression are described. After that, exact expressions for the bit error probabilities in noise are given. At the end, numerical analysis is performed that includes performances in noise and performances in multiple access interference, which are especially critical for medical IR-UWB BANs.
