Summary:
This paper describes the verification of the effectiveness of stored channel simulations for evaluating ultrawideband (UWB) communication system performances in realistic propagation environments. It was achieved by investigating the similarity of two received waveforms: one acquired by the real signal transmission and the other reconstructed using stored channel simulation. The actual received waveform was directly measured by a UWB testbed. On the other hand, the transfer function of the antennas and propagation channels measured by a vector network analyzer, i.e. the stored channel, together with the transfer functions of the transmitter and receiver of UWB testbed, were used in simulation to reconstruct the received waveform. The result shows that the actual measured received waveform is almost identical to the reconstructed received waveform via stored channel simulation.
