A Digital Implementation for UWB Impulse Radio Transceiver

Abstract

In this paper a digital UWB transceiver is designed with a bit-rate of 200 Mb/s. System simulations propose an SNR of 10 dB, and 4-bit of resolution with 4 GHz sampling rate for analog to digital conversion. Hardware of this system is implemented on a Virtex-II Pro chip (XC2VP20). The critical digital blocks operate with a minimum frequency of 200 MHz. The total power in this system is 400 mw.
