Performance Analysis of MB-OFDM UWB System with Imperfect Synchronization and Intersymbol Interference
This paper provides performance analysis of multiband OFDM UWB system that takes into consideration the effect of intersymbol interference and imperfect frequency and timing synchronization. The system performance is analyzed under UWB multipath fading channels, as specified in the IEEE 802.15.3a channel standard. Average signal-to-noise ratio is first derived for the system. Then an approximation technique is employed to obtain a closed-form average bit error probability that provides a profound understanding of the performance of the multiband OFDM UWB system. Simulation results validate the theoretical analysis.
