Abstract

This thesis, analyses the performance of an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave (FMCW) ranging system in the presence of additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN). The distortion of the UWB FMCW signal’s phase, due to noise, deteriorates its frequency spectrum components. This corrupts the multipath delay information and therefore the range information.
