平均發射參考（ATR）調制技術和前向糾錯（FEC）編碼技術都能通過增加冗余信號改善超寬帶（UWB）自相關接收機的檢測性能。為了研究在相同的冗余度下哪一種技術能提供更好的改善效果，本文比較了ATR調制系統和BCH 編碼DPSK 系統在多徑信道下的性能。經過理論分析和IEEE 多徑信道仿真表明：ATR 調制技術在遠距離低信噪比時更有優勢，但只能在參考信號個數較少時改善性能；FEC 編碼技術則在近距離高信噪比時改善誤碼率和降低碼間串擾更為明顯。

Abstract: Both averaged transmitted-reference (ATR) modulation technique and forward error correction (FEC) coding technique can improve the performance of Ultra-wideband (UWB) autocorrelation receiver by adding some redundant signals. In order to study which technique can provide much better improvement with the same amount of redundancy, a performance comparison between ATR modulation system and BCH coded DPSK system in a multipath channel was made in this paper. The two systems were analyzed in theory and simulated in
the IEEE multipath channel model. The results show that ATR modulation technique has more superiority at low Eb/N0 (far distance) situation, but only raise the performance at small reference signal numbers; At high Eb/N0 (near distance) situation, FEC coding technique has better bit error rate and can reduce ISI more remarkable.
