Abstract

We investigate timing tolerances of ultra-wideband (UWB) impulse radios. We quantify the bit-error rate (BER) sensitivity to epoch timing offset under different operating conditions, including frequency-flat fading channels, dense multipath fading channels, multiple access with time hopping, and various receiver types including sliding correlators and RAKE combiners. For a general correlation-based detector, we derived in Part I unifying expressions for the decision statistics as well as BER formulas under mistiming, given fixed channel realizations. In Part II, we provide a systematic approach to BER analysis under mistiming for fading channels. The BER is expressed in terms of the receiver's energy capture capability, which we quantify under various radio operating conditions. We also develop the optimal demodulator in the presence of timing offset and show a proper design of the correlation-template that is robust to mistiming. Through analyses and simulations, we illustrate that the reception quality of a UWB impulse radio is highly sensitive to both timing acquisition and tracking errors.
