Abstract
In this paper, we propose and analyze a rapid acquisition loop for a direct-sequence ultrawideband (DS-UWB) system called robust matched-filter acquisition, which is mainly aimed at eliminating the cases of false alarm in signal acquisition. Moreover, we present a study on the acquisition performances of the serial search, conventional matched filter, and robust matched filter in UWB dense multipath environments. The mean acquisition time, the acquisition probability, and the mean number of false alarms are evaluated for CM1- CM4 channel models. We find that the robust matched-filter acquisition provides a significant improvement in performances over the conventional matched-filter algorithm for the specific UWB channel model. UWB (Ultra Wideband) wireless communication system is very suitable to short-distance and high-data-rate wireless communication, because it has the characters of higher data rate, shorter communication distance, and low average transmission power. UWB systems ensure certain fixed synchronized error between the transmitted and received ends. In the thesis, we will focus on the issue of synchronization performance analysis to do further discuss and study. In real communication channel environment, multipath factor contributes a lot of severe interference to data transmission whereas it happens more severely in dense metropolitan area. Conventionally, we use Rake receiver to receive the signal in order to reduce such multipath-caused interference. However, using Rake receiver, we required to know the delay time and attenuated amount of each transmitted route in advance. Furthermore if we needs to gather more signal energy, it is necessary for us to add more “fingers” at Rake receiver. Nevertheless it will increase complexity of the hardware. To avoid such situation happening, we adopt the concept of DHTR (Delay-Hopped Transmitted- reference) that correlates the delayed signal with original one to avoid the design issue of template signal. In the proposed scheme, we are able to reduce the complexity problem of the Rake receiver system. Besides, we further present the performance analysis of such system to make the study more complete, also provide a convincing proof to the simulation.
