Abstract :
The performance of an ultra-wideband receiver in the presence of IEEE 802.11a interference is evaluated. A mathematical expression for the interference is presented, and a closed-form solution for the interference on an UWB system employing the second derivative Gaussian monocycle is derived. The interference is characterized in terms of the receiver´s bit error rates and throughputs. Our results indicate that, under certain conditions, the IEEE 802.11a interference can cause a significant increase in the bit error rate and a severe degradation of the attainable throughput of the UWB system.
