Pulse position amplitude Modulation for time-hopping multiple-access UWB communications

In this letter, we propose a new modulation scheme called pulse position amplitude modulation (PPAM) for ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems. PPAM combines pulse position modulation and pulse amplitude modulation to provide good system performance and low computational complexity. The channel...

Description
Summary:In this letter, we propose a new modulation scheme called pulse position amplitude modulation (PPAM) for ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems. PPAM combines pulse position modulation and pulse amplitude modulation to provide good system performance and low computational complexity. The channel capacity of PPAM is determined for a time-hopping multiple-access UWB communication system. The error probability and performance bounds are derived for a multiuser environment.
