Abstract

The optimum receiver performance of a hybrid pulse phase and position modulation (PAPM) over ultra-wideband (UWB) indoor fading channel model is analyzed. In the PAPM UWB system, input data was modulated onto both the pulse phases and the pulse positions. The receiver employed a RAKE to combine multipath energy by use of the mixed raster content (MRC) algorithm to realize the optimum receiver. The closed-form error rate expressions of the system in indoor fading channels were determined, and thus the limited performance of the PAPM UWB system employing the RAKE receiver was analyzed. Calculation results shows that this PAPM modulation doubles the communication rate while holding the BER performance invariable.
