Abstract

Ultra Wideband (UWB) Impulse Radio systems have gained an increasing interest in the last few years. However, efficient receivers for multiple access (MA) networks at reasonable complexity where hardly presented, and not analyzed in an actual MA scenario. This paper defines a semi-blind receiver, and presents a new maximal ratio combining (MRC) receiver, which is the best linear semi-blind receiver. Performance analysis of the MRC receiver shows that it has very high capability to suppress multiple access interference at a moderate receiver complexity. Results also show that the performance of a semi-blind receiver are better when the interference power is time varying, than when the interference power is constant, with the same average interference power.
