Abstract

In this paper we analyze the performance of ultra-wideband (UWB) communications in the presence interference. The interference is modeled as a zero mean random process with constant power spectral density over a certain bandwidth. Closed-form expressions are developed for the processing gain of a pulse position modulation UWB utilizing rectangular pulses. Simple approximations are obtained for special cases (narrowband and wideband interference). We compare the interference suppression properties of UWB and direct-sequence spread spectrum (DS-SS) under certain assumptions. It is shown that in case of narrowband interference (with respect to the spread spectrum bandwidth), UWB provides more effective interference suppression than DS-SS.
