Based on this model, we derive asymptotical (valid for large N) expressions for the received signal after pulse summation and matched filtering. As an application example, we study the influence of timing jitter and frequency offsets on the maximum SNR, assuming a 2nd derivative Gaussian pulse shape. The analytical results we obtain are verified with numerical simulations.Ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB)impulse radiojitterfrequency offset.text::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
