This letter presents the performance of ultra-wideband multi-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (UWB MB-OFDM) systems with an extra diversity. To fully obtain diversity gain in the current MB-OFDM system when a time-domain spreading (TDS) is adopted, two consecutive OFDM symbols are designed to be cyclic shifted against each other. Simulation results indicate that the MB-OFDM system using additional frequency diversity outperforms conventional MB-OFDM system.
Key Words: multiband OFDM, ultra-wideband, frequency diversity
