Wireless communications within enclosed environments such as aircraft and vehicles have been shown to experience fading with statistics that are worse than Rayleigh. Motivated by low-cost, low-complexity systems (e.g., wireless sensors) that may be deployed in such environments, this work explores the benefits of polarization diversity using very large data sets collected over a small area and over the 5-6 GHz band. The results also demonstrate that antennas capable of capturing depolarized signal components can significantly mitigate the harshest of fading environments.

In this work we explore flexible modulations toallow demodulation using receivers with different complexityand cost. More specifically, we study pulse-based ultrawideband (UWB) communications over channels with densemultipath effects using frequency shift keying (FSK) datamodulation. Our aim is to explore the performance tradeoffsbetween high and low complexity receivers. For this purposewe determine the performance of coherent, non-coherent andmismatched (e.g., non-coherent detection using templatesconsisting of a single path) demodulators. We take intoaccount the influence of the frequency response of the antennasystem and the effects of the frequency selectivity of themultipath channel. Given a specific channel condition, wederive expressions for the bit error …
