Improved Noncoherent Receiver for Joint Range and Symbol Estimation

The noncoherent receiver (NCR) has, recently, gained importance due to its simple design and low-complexity for the internet of things and wireless communications. However, NCR's performance is sub-optimal as compared to a coherent receiver due to the presence of noise. In this paper, we propose an NCR for joint ranging and data symbol estimation for pulse-based communication such as ultra-wideband and terahertz band communication. The proposed...
