A SIMO One-Bit Time Reversal for UWB Communication Systems

With the One-bit Time Reversal Ultra WideBand (OTR-UWB) transceiver, the data symbols are encoded using the reversed order of the channel phase. The major factor limiting SISO OTR capacity and performance is Inter-Symbol Interference (ISI). As the data rate goes up, the ISI becomes more severe and it degrades system performance and capacity. In this paper, a new Single Input Multiple Output (SIMO) system is proposed for an OTR-UWB system. The proposed transceiver structure is based on spatial focusing property of OTR.
