Abstract—An average Transmitted-Reference (TR) receiver scheme based on orthogonal codes is proposed for improving the bit error rate (BER) performance and the transmitting rate of Ultra-wideband (UWB) TR receiver systems in coal mine. Orthogonal codes are used for modulating the reference pulses and the data pulses in each frame of every bit. Since the orthogonality of the two codes, the inter-pulse interference (IPI) is greatly reduced. Then the decoding reference pulses and the data pulses are averaged in a frame, which decreases the noise in the reference pulses and the data pulses. Finally, I demonstrate this optimal receiver scheme by the simulation in the coal mine roadway ultra-wideband channel model. Detailed simulation experiments are presented to validate the effectiveness of this proposed method. The experimental results show that this method can not only efficiently reduce the noise interference in receiving signals, but also can provide higher transmission rate, which make UWB signal receiving in coal mines more accurately.
