The Baseband Signal Processing and Circuit Design for the Ultra-Wide Band Wireless System
Tz-wen Sung · 2006
Ultra-wideband (UWB) radio has been proposed for physical layer standard of the future high-speed wireless personal area networks (WPAN). In this thesis, the receiver baseband signal processing and hardware implementation of a multi-band orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (MB-OFDM) system is investigated. The baseband signal processing algorithms include time domain synchronization, frequency domain synchronization, channel estimation, and zero padded process. The developed algorithms are shown to fulfill the requirements of the system specifications and are implemented using Verilog hardware description language (HDL), which is downloaded to Xilinx FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) for system verification.
