Abstract
This work presents an M-ary multiple access code-selected direct sequence (DS) ultra wideband (UWB) communication system. A high data rate multiple access UWB system can be obtained by a code selection mechanism. In the proposed system, each user is assigned a DS code set with M/2 DS code sequence and a particular DS code sequence can be selected by the log2 (M/2) bits from the DS code set. More importantly for this M-ary UWB communication system, with the increase of the modulation level M, it allows to reduce the required transmitter power maintaining the number of users, the data transmission rate and the multiple access performance. In this paper, we also introduce the detailed algorithm to compute the bit error rate (BER) over the AWGN channel and correlation receivers.
