Transmitted reference modulation scheme with autocorrelation receiver offers a robust and simple transceiver configuration for ultra-wideband communications. However this configuration provides only a poor noise performance. The contribution shows how the noise performance can be considerably improved by introducing pulse compression technique. The paper compares the noise performance of the well known FM-DCSK system, as a reference, to the proposed UWB chirp impulse radio featuring pulse compression. It can be concluded, that assuming a real case scenario the improvement in the noise performance is 7.8 dB at BER = 10^-3
