Design of a practical scheme for ultra wideband communication

—In the design of a packet-oriented impulse-radio UWB communication system, the main challenge at the receiver is to have a fast synchronization to the coded pulses, along with a detection of the message. We consider schemes that are straightforward to implement in practical systems and propose two methods to realize the synchronization algorithms: a serial and a parallel method. The algorithms for synchronization and demodulation are implemented in a receiver prototype based on an FPGA.
