The Bit Error Rate analysis of Direct Sequence Ultra Wide Band System in Mine Channel

Athar Ravish Khan, Sanjay M. Gulhane, Padmini.G.Kaushik

The necessity for wireless communications in underground mines is well understood. Some companies have started to deploy modern wireless networks in mine galleries with the objective of increasing safety and productivity. This paper presents the Bit Error Rate (BER) analysis of Direct Sequence Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM) Ultra Wide Band (UWB) system for underground mine environment. Discrete time channel impulse response is used to build up revised channel model for underground mine which is based on the UWB channel model proposed by IEEE802.15.3a.With the revised channel model, we compare the performance of IEEE channel and mine channel by considering Mean Excess Delay, Root Mean Square (RMS) delay and Number of significant Paths with in 10 dB of peak (NP 10dB) and observe the significant increase in the parameter. We evaluated the BER performance using RAKE receiver employing maximal ratio combining (MRC) for different data rate, repeat bit and number of RAKE figure in underground mine channel. Simulation results shows that DS-PAM-UWB system can sustain in the dense multipath environment of underground mine and provide acceptable BER.
