Summary: 
In this paper, three new ultra wideband (UWB) communication systems with quadrature-phase shift keying (QPSK) impulse modulation are proposed. First, direct-sequence (DS) multiple-access scheme is applied. The second proposed system is based on time-hopping (TH) multiple-access scheme. The last proposed system applies TH multiple-access scheme with QPSK impulse modulation and pulse position modulation (PPM). The conventional UWB communications as TH scheme with PPM modulation and DS scheme with binary-phase shift keying (BPSK) are used to compare. The simulation results show that all proposed UWB communication systems can provide obviously better performances compared with the conventional TH-PPM and DS-BPSK UWB communication systems. The comparisons in aspects of transmission bit rate and the number of users are also investigated.
