Design of preamble signal for synchronization with UWB non-coherent energy detection receiver

In this paper, we deal with the design of preamble signal in order to increase synchronization performance in UWB non-coherent energy detection receiver. We find criteria which can enhance the synchronization performance and propose a scheme to design the preamble signal based on the constrained nonlinear optimization approach with some examples. The proposed design scheme provides the improved solution for designing preambles in non-coherent energy detection based synchronization. Through simulations, we shows the synchronization performance of designed preamble signals in AWGN and the IEEE 802.15.3a channel model.
