Three multiple access schemes, namely Time Hopping (TH), Direct Sequence (DS) and hybrid Direct Sequence-Time Hopping (DS-TH) are investigated. The TH multiple access has been well studied in Radar communication systems. This research extends the previous studies by applying three pulse modulations techniques, including pulse posi- tion modulation, pulse shift keying and pulse amplitude modulation. The idea of the DS multiple access schemes is also generalized from the well-known Direct Sequence-Code Division Multiple Access (DS-CDMA) cellular systems to UWB radios. It is shown that the DS multiple access has the potential to reach higher data transmission rates and that TH techniques are more resistant to fading. The DS-TH multiple access schemes are proposed by combining the advantages of both TH and DS multiple access schemes. Results show that the DS-TH ultra wideband achieves better system performance while maintaining the required data transmission rate and multiple access capacity. The system performance is illustrated and examined in terms of the signal to noise plus interference ratio, bit error rate and outage probability. iii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS I would like to express my sincere appreciationtomyadvisor,Dr.OkechukwuC. Ugweje, for his invaluable advice, guidance, support and encouragement throughout the duration of this work, without which this work would not have been possible. I am looking forward to maintaining a continued friendship with him. Special thanks go to Dr. Paul C. K. Lam, Associate Dean of the College of Engi- neering, for his help and financial support during my academic career at The University of Akron. He has been somewhat of a father figure to me. It has been a pleasure working under his supervision and his kindness and understanding will be a valuable memory in my life. I wish to express my deep gratitude to other committee members, Dr. John Welch, Dr. Jack Durkin and Dr. Dale Mugler for their careful reading, corrections and helpful discussion during my research. Appreciation is also given to the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering for the financial support. I want to thank all the faculty, staff members and friends in the department for their assistance, especially Dr. Tom Hartley and Ms. Gay Boden, secretary of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering. My true love goes to my parents for their constant encouragement and moral sup- port, which helps me through hard times and several challenges of completing this work. Above all, my love and admiration goes to my husband, Alex Jiaokai Jing, for his love, understanding, support and help. iv TABLE OF CONTENTS Page LISTOFTABLES......................................................... ix LISTOFFIGURES........................................................ x LISTOFACRONYMS..................................................... xiii LISTOFSYMBOLS....................................................... xv CHAPTER I.INTRODUCTION..................................................... 1 1.1Motivation........................................................ 1 1.2ProblemStatement................................................. 3 1.3 Importance and Contribution of Research............................. 6 1.4DissertationOutline................................................ 7 II.
