A Low-Complexity CMOS Receiver for UWB signals

It is well-known that GPS is a widely used technology for localization in outdoors environments. Nonetheless, such standard fails to provide a practical and accurate solution for localization and ranging applications within indoor environments due to the need of satellites and meter-level accuracy, which is poor for indoor environments. It is in...

A Sub-GHz UWB Pulse Generator for Wireless Biomedical Communication

LC Ladder Based Orthonormal Filter for Impulse-Radio UWB Pulse Generation.

In this thesis, a UWB pulse generator is designed to be implemented in IBM 0.13 um technology. The pulse generator has a high spectral efficiency. Using amplitude control, any mismatch, process variation or temperature variation can be compensated for to comply with the UWB FCC mask. The pulse has an approximate duration of 2ns. The current...
