Jitter distribution evaluation and suppression method in UWB systems

Abstract

For the extreme short duration of the baseband Impulse Radio (IR) Ultra-Wideband (UWB) transmission waveforms, even small amounts of timing jitter can bring out considerable system performance degradation. Thus jitter performance evaluation and corresponding suppression methods are very important for UWB high rate transceiver. We analyzed the jitter distribution function in UWB systems, also a jitter suppression method is proposed by modification of template waveforms. Performance of our proposed waveforms and traditional template waveforms are compared by analysis and simulation, and the results verify our jitter suppression method works.1 © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2007.
