Experimental validation for TR-UWB systems By time delayed sampling & correlation (TDSC)

Detection results of transmitted reference ultra-wideband signals (TR-UWB) are presented. The signals are received through the implementation in CMOS technology of the `Time Delayed Sampling and Correlation' (TDSC) detection method, which allows the test of its performance and validates the first stage of the synchronization process. This method has been proposed to achieve a UWB system with low cost, low complexity and low power consumption for medium to low data rate applications such as ranging or localization. Detection of such signals has been done successfully in both a direct cable connection as well in a wireless system with a real channel. In both cases they were used in the sub GHz band (group1) and also in the low band UWB signals.
