This paper examines the robustness of anti-interference Ultra- Wide-Band UWB-OFDM ( AI-UWH) systems in presence of narrow-band interference. It analyzes the bit error rate perjormance of the systems in both the single-user und multi-user mode.%,and compares its robustness in different code matrixes. By encoding transmitted symbols and spreading their power over all sub-bands, AI-UWB systems can make full use of the frequency diversity ucross the sub-bands and have more robustness to the narrowband interference. Simulating results show that different codes have almost the same robustness to the narrowband interference. The encoding and spreading could suppress the narrowband interference effectively. Cvrnpured with the ISUWB systems, our approach has more than 5 dB interference murgin . Key words: UWB; anti-interference ; bit error rate ; coding ; spreading

all sub-bands rather than one sub-band in IS-UWB system. In this paper, we analyze the performance of the AIUWB system in both single-user as well as multi-user and examine the robustness to .interference under different orthogonal code matrix. We provide the mathematical analytical relation and simulating results. It is shown that the different codes have almost the same robustness to the narrowband interference. Encoding and spreading could enhance the robustness of the system to interference or frequency-selective fading, especially to wideband interference.
Introduction
Due to the robustness to multipath fading, high rate, low in cost and small power consumption, UWB communication is a promising technique for short rang, high-speed wireless applications" -'I . But UWB system design has many challenges. One of the main challenges is dealing with a lot of interference or jamming that come from the other narrowband wireless systems working simultaneously in the UWB. Significant attention has been paid to the potential impacts between UWB system and the wireless systems which are operating in the same frequency range as 2 The Brief of AI-UWB System UWB[9-'41, but a little has been paid to the cure for enhancing the robustness of IJWB system to the interAll sub-channels in the AI-UWB system"43 are dividferences.

In fact, the narrow-band interference exists only in a fraction of the UWB channel. If there is interference only in mo sub-bands of system, the interference in the m t h sub-band can be modeled as

Assuming that the channel is an AWGN channel and xk+Mrl/Jlak,Lt/JJP(t)d2n(4+1fn)t all sub-channels have the same AWGN variance, it follows that the output of the system can be expressed as

The Bit Error Rate (BER) performance of the AIUWB system can be obtained by averaging the BER of the all sub-channels. Using the result in Ref. [ 151, we get the BER as ,

For the C-UWB system, the BER is given by
The function Q ( 3 )decreases exponentially instead of linearly as x . Generally we obtain (17) It is obvious that the coding and spreading could improve the anti-interference performance of the system. But it has no effect on AGWN. It is because that the interference exists in a fraction of the band but the AGWN exists over the band. We obtain more interference margin in the AI-UWB system than in the C-UWB system. This enhances the robustness of the AI-UWB system to interferences or frequency-selective fading. The margin depends on p or M . The larger M is, the larger margin is.

Multi-User
One simple method for multiple access is to assign some of the parallel data streams s,to every user upon request by the users. Another method is to transmit user information in packets over the UWB channel where we regard the N parallel data streams .r, as N packets. When users have one or more packets to transmit, they access the channel. Since x, } are independent data streams, i. e. , user data are independent each other, the performance that has been described above for single-user communications is directly applicable and no new problems are encountered in multiple access environment, except for the additional task of assigning users to available data streams or packets. In other words, the performance of multiuser communication is the same as one of single-user communication.

As SIR increases, the BER degrades rapidly. But when the SIR is about 5 dB, the BER degrades slowly. When the SIR is more than 10 dB, the UER curve becomes flat. Then the effect of SNR on the BER is unfolded and the BER begins to be depended on SNR mainly. When the SIR is very small ( - 9 dB in the

in the presence of interference when SNR is 10 dB. It is apparent that there is a little difference among Hadamard code matrix, DCT code matrix and P4 code matrix. This is because that there is a little different frequency diversity across the sub-bands and sub-channels when the transmitted symbols are encoded and spread by different code matrix. Comparatively speaking, P4 code matrix is most effective and DCT code is worst.
