Synchronization and detection for transmited reference UWB systems

In this paper we present a synchronization scheme for mul-tiuser transmit-reference ultrawide band (TR-UWB) sys-tems. The proposed blind deterministic synchronization algorithm delivers a ne resolution data packet oset esti-mate by processing blocks of the received data sequence. The complexity of the algorithm is considerably reduced by exploiting the property that a time domain shift cor-responds to a phase rotation in frequency domain. In the simulations the whole transceiver chain is considered tak-ing into account measured channel impulse responses in a typical university building. 1
