Design and Implementation of UWB Receiver

Wireless technology has given us a convenient way to transfer information from one point to other anywhere in the world. The last two decades have been the most dynamic in the history of wireless communication. The recent popularity of wireless networks results in many additional requirements of the system, especially the need of high data rates, demand for high quality multimedia services and very important, the requirement of greater bandwidth. The Ultra WideBand (UWB) radio communication is providing new direction to utilize the radio spectrum for the broadband short-range radio communications. The key feature that makes UWB technology unique is low cost transceiver design. In this paper UWB receiver is designed and then some characteristics such as Bit Error Rate, Delay, Load etc. are implemented by using MATLAB and OPNET. Network cables such as TR4 (Token Ring 4Mbps) and TR16 (Token Ring 16Mbps) are used to test the delay factor in UWB receiver architecture in both cases.
