CE 3.2 Project Background
CE 3.2.1 Characteristics of the project
The ultra wideband impulse radio or UWB-IR comprises of some of the major
advantages and hence is termed as one of the greatest solutions to the future wireless sensor
networks or WSN as well as RFID or radio frequency identification. The technique of ultra
wideband impulse radio comprises of the core possibility to achieve the respective data rate
and hundreds of meter operation range and accuracy of the positioning. Moreover, the low
cost implementation is yet another important feature of this ultra wideband impulse radio.
During the execution of this project, I majorly focused on the software radio transceiver
designing for the core purpose of impulse based UWB and has the capability of transmitting
the data rate of around 100 Mbps; hence I encompassed the flexibility of the reconfigurable-
digital receivers. I generated the 500 picoseconds wide Gaussian pulse within the transmitter
by using the fast switching features of the step recovery diodes. I have also used software
radio designing to implement the BPSK modulation scheme as well as digital receiver
topologies of DLED or digital leading edge detection. For the software simulation of the
project, I have used MATLAB SIMULINK for analysing the baseband processing of

transceiver. Therefore, I have provided a compact design for the transceiver for the ultra
wideband communication.
CE 3.2.2 Objectives developed for the project
The ultra wideband communication was used since it comprises of extremely lower
energy levels for the shorter range as well as higher bandwidth communication. Moreover,
the UWB has several significant applications within the respective non-cooperative radar
images. Thus, while executing the project, the following objectives were developed by me:
 To design and implement the transceiver for the ultra wideband communication.
 To use the project for shorter range or the high bandwidth communication.
 To make the project capable for transmitting the raw data at the rate of 100 Mbps.
 To incorporate the adaptableness of the reconfigurable-digital receiver in the
transceiver.
 To utilize software radio designing for BPSK modulation scheme and digital receiver
topologies of DLED.
 To simulate the project with MATLAB SIMULINK for the analysis of baseband
processing of transceiver.
 To use AWGN channel for the 30dB signal to noise performance for making changes
in actual fabrication.
CE 3.2.3 My area of work
Since I was quite experienced during the execution of project, I was recruited as the
Chief Networking Engineer. I was selected by the supervisor as telecommunication network
was my major strength. Executing projects for ultra wideband communication was much
easier for me in comparison to other team members. Moreover, the channel and receiver

simulations were performed easily by me and thus I was able to execute my duties
effectively.

CE 3.2.5 My responsibilities throughout the project
In this project, I had several important responsibilities. My major responsibility was
proposing a compact design for the transceiver for ultra wideband communications. I also had
to focus specifically on the design of software radio transceiver so that I could transmit the
raw data at the rate of 100 Mbps. I even had to encompass the adaptability of the
reconfigurable digital receivers. My other responsibilities included generating the 500
picoseconds wide Gaussian pulse after using the faster switching features of the steps
recovery diodes. I have also used the software radio designing with BPSK modulation
scheme or digital receiver topologies. I even had the responsibility of simulating the project
with MATLAB SIMULINK.
