Summary :

In this paper, an energy-collection-based non-coherent IR-UWB receiver allowing low complexity and low power consumption is proposed for short range data communication. The proposed receiver consists of an on-the-fly integrator, a 1-bit digital sampler, a pre-processor and a digital symbol synchronizer. The on-the-fly integrator for energy collection and the 1-bit digital sampler reduce complexity of IR-UWB system. Furthermore, with a simple digital filter in the pre-processing unit, SNR and robustness of the receiver against time-varying channel are enhanced. Also the receiver complexity is diminished by a simple scheme of symbol synchronization based on rough time information about incoming pulses, not requiring exact timing information. The performance of the proposed receiver is simulated based on IEEE 802.15.4a channel model and the algorithms are implemented and verified on a FPGA.
