ITERATIVE FREQUENCY-DOMAIN CHANNEL ESTIMATION AND EQUALIZATION FOR ULTRA-WIDEBAND SYSTEMS WITH SHORT CYCLIC PREFIX

Iterative Frequency-Domain Channel Estimation and Equalization for Ultra-Wideband Systems with Short Cyclic Prefix

In impulse radio ultra-wideband (IR-UWB) systems where the channel lengths are on the order of a few hundred taps, conventional use of frequency-domain (FD) processing for channel estimation and equalization may not be feasible because the need 15-eg2373cl to add a cyclic prefix (CP) to each block causes a significant reduction in the spectral effi
