An Iterative Transmitted Reference UWB Receiver for Joint ToA and Data Symbols Estimation

In impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) literature, simple transmitted reference (TR) autocorrelation receiver has been analyzed for data symbol detection. However, TR receiver is neither energy efficient nor data transmission rate efficient due to transmission of two pulses per data symbol. In this paper, we propose an iterative TR (ITR) UWB receiver for the joint time of arrival (ToA) and data symbol estimation. The proposed ITR receiver uses...
