A Study on Timing Acquisition and Channel Estimation in Ultra-Wide Band Systems

The direct sequence ultra-wideband (DS-UWB) system has the characteristics of low transmission power constraints and wide transmitted bandwidth. The wide bandwidth will introduce fine timing resolution and severe inter-symbol interference (ISI), which will is cause larger delay spread. Therefore, the traditional acquisition methods are no longer suitable here.
A modified acquisition method and a coarse channel estimation algorithm are proposed in this thesis. Three different strategies with composition of acquisition and channel estimation are compared. Based on three strategies, the tasks of coarse acquisition and channel estimation can be achieved with limited length of acquisition sequence. From simulation results, the parallel strategy is robust enough to operate under the UWB channel in severe ISI conditions and the time duration for completing the tasks of coarse acquisition and channel estimation meets the specification of IEEE 802.15.3a.
