Abstract:

In this paper, we present results on the application of reduced-rank adaptive filtering techniques to the problem of interference suppression in ultra-wideband (UWB) communications. It is shown that reduced-rank optimum combining (OC) methods, in particular the eigen-canceler (EC), are effective in suppressing interference modeled aas 802.11a signals. Simulation results are presented to show that the EC requires a shorter data record than minimum mean square error (MMSE) Rake receivers.
