This paper proposes an investigation of the propagation behaviour for Ultra-Wide Bandwidth
(UWB) signals in outdoor environments. Specifically, we first report on the results of an …

This paper reports on extensive experimental activities and related modelling for the
characterization of the ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) channel in a typical" sub-urban" …

This paper proposes an investigation of binary and quaternary modulation schemes for ultra
wide band systems using differential receiver architectures. The expressions for the signal to …

Recent advances in the technology of wireless electronic devices have made possible to
build ad–hoc Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) using inexpensive nodes, consisting of low …

Platform-based Design (PBD) is a relatively new methodology paradigm for the design of
embedded systems. It has made significant inroads in the electronic industry (see for …

In this paper we propose a framework for analyzing the performance of ultra wide band
(UWB) receiver architectures in sparse multipath channels with intra-pulse interference. In …

This paper proposes a general framework for analyzing the performance of ultra wide band
(UWB) communication systems in a synchronous reference scenario. In this context the …

Platform-based design (PBD)[M. Sgroi et al., November 2003] is a relatively new
methodology paradigm for the design of embedded systems. In this paper, its adoption is …

With the proliferation of wireless technologies, a new type of electromagnetic compatibility
issue has arisen which is considerably different than those addressed by traditional EMC …

In this paper we propose a polyphase processing solution for relaxing the strict timing
constraints of all-digital ultra wide band (UWB) receiver architectures. The work is motivated …
