This thesis presents a UWB testbed as a general experimental platform to explore pulse-based UWB communications and discusses design and implementation issues. A testbed is built as a flexible solution for hardware implementation of a CR UWB system.xiii, 64 leaves, illustrationsEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessUltra-wideband (UWB)coded-reference (CR)pulse-based UWB communicationsUWB testbedTK5103.4 .G87 2011Ultra-wideband devices.Broadband communication systems.Wireless communication systems.Thesis
