A PSO-Based UWB Pulse Waveform Design Method
The pulse waveform design method for ultra wideband (UWB) communication based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique is discussed, and the performance of UWB system with designed pulse is analyzed. According to analysis, the design of pulse is transformed into a process of finding the minimal solution of a function about weighting coefficient. The weighting coefficients are made certain based on PSO algorithm. The properties such as bit error rate (BER) performance in both single link and multi-user, link budget of the UWB system employing the designed pulse are simulated. Compared with Scholtz’s monocycle and random combined pulse, the results showed that the pulse designed based on the PSO algorithm has better BER performance and communication performance.
