Analysis of UWB Systems for Synchronization and Fine Timing

Abstract

Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) technology due to its high speed, data rate and multipath immune characteristics is one of the promising solutions for communication systems. There have been awesome studies efforts to apply extremely-huge bandwidth using Ultra Wide band (UWB) technology to the military and government sectors. In UWB technology challenging task is synchronization and fine timing performance for the specified application. This paper explores the different types of UWB receivers which are Transmitted Reference (TR) UWB Receivers and Frequency Shifted Reference (FSR) UWB Receiver focusing on the synchronization and timing performance of the specified application. In order to identify these issues, the existing researches carried out in the domain of synchronization and timing performance of UWB from existing literatures. Through the review of existing literatures certain research gap are identified which are all stated in the research gap.
