Capacity Performance Analysis of M-ary PPM TH-UWB Systems in the Presence of Narrowband Interference

  • Published : 2008.09.30

Abstract

The capacity of ultra-wideband (UWB) systems in presence of narrowband interference (NBI) is studied. By appropriately modifying the Shannon capacity formula, an analytical expression for the capacity of M-ary pulse position modulation (PPM) signals in the presence of NBI is obtained. Performance evaluation results for the capacity of such signals as a function of the NBI carrier frequency and power are also presented.
