Ultra-wideband UWB impulse radios have shown great potential in wireless local area networks for localization coexistence with other services and low probability of interception and detection. However low transmission power and high multipath effect make the detection of UWB signals challenging. Recently multi-symbol based detection has caught attention for UWB communications because it provides good performance and does not require explicit channel estimation. Most of the existing multi-symbol based methods incur a higher computational cost than can be afforded in the envisioned UWB systems. In this paper we propose an iterative multi-symbol based method that has low complexity and provides near optimal performance. Our method uses only one initial symbol to start and applies a decision directed approach to iteratively update a filter template and information symbols. Simulations show that our method converges in only a few iterations less than 5 and that when the number of symbols increases the performance of our method approaches that of the ideal Rake receiver. 1.
