Design and Analysis of Ultra-wide Bandwidth Impulse Radio Receiver, A Dissertation

The wireless system is being rapidly proliferated in our life. The growing of capacity in wireless communication requires a new type of wireless communication method which does not effect current systems. A new system that fulfills this requirement is the Ultra-Wide bandwidth (UWB) impulse radio. In addition, the UWB system also promises low power, covert communication, and very high processing gain. In this dissertation, an UWB system which can lead this next generation of communications of an UWB radio is introduced.
In this work, the complete front-end of an UWB radio and its components are described in a detailed analysis. The main focus of this work is the design of the UWB system’s wide-bandwidth components.
