Abstract

Abstract : An ultra-high data rate time reversal (TR) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) ultra-wideband (UWB) communication system with space-time precoding is proposed. When the symbol duration is set to approach the duration of UWB monocycles, the data rate is close to the limit, resulting in the severe intersymbol interference (ISI). The zero-forcing (ZF) criterion-based space-time precoding presented in this paper eliminates both ISI and multistream interference (MSI) caused by spatial multiplexing at the sampling time. With less demand for the degree of freedom (the number of antennas) than other existing schemes, the proposed scheme enables the data rate to reach the order of Gbps without losing bit error rate (BER) performance. Since TR signal preprocessing and the proposed precoding both require the channel state information (CSI), a simple but effective channel estimation algorithm is also proposed to evaluate the impact of channel estimation on the proposed scheme.
