Performance analysis of pulse designed for the IEEE 802.15.4a standard

The novel pulses, which not only meet the power spectral mask of the Federal Communications Commission(FCC) and IEEE 802.15.4a standard constraint but also preserve the orthogonality at the receiver, have been proposed by Kim et. al. for practical usage of Ultra-wideband (UWB) system. This paper analyzes the performance of proposed pulses with regards important conditions in UWB system, such as the standard constraints, spectral utilization efficiency, capacity and effect on multipath fading with different existing pulses. Simulation results demonstrate the performance analysis of the proposed pulses.
