Narrow- and Broadband Interference Robustness for OOK/BPPM Based Energy Detection

Abstract—An analysis of narrow- and broadband interference robustness within an On-Off Keying/Binary Pulse Position Modulation based noncoherent multiband impulse radio ultrawideband communication system is presented. Using the energy detector’s processing gain closed-form expressions of the noise and interference related second order moment statistics at the output of an energy detection receiver are derived. This allows separate statements on the relative modulation specific processing gain with respect to various interference parameters.
