Digital Complex Signal Processing Techniques for Impulse Radio

— This paper describes the digital complex signal processing techniques for a pulse-based UWB radio. The proposed baseband is essential to fully exploit the wideband signal characteristics as well as compensating the analog front-end impairments. The property and optimal usage of these signal processing blocks are analyzed for both data detection and precision ranging applications. The same signal processing approaches are applicable for baseband and passband UWB communications as both are of interest under FCC regulations.
