A subsampling pulsed UWB demodulator based on a flexible complex SVD

Abstract

A flexible digital architecture for a pulsed ultra-wideband demodulator sampling below Nyquist rate is presented. The system is based on a complex Singular Value Decomposition implemented on a configurable systolic array of simple processors. Automatic code generation is applied to cut design time and rapidly assess the implementation cost of several architectures of the processors.
