My Research Project:

Ultra-wideband technology involves transmitting pulses with durations of less than one nanosecond across a wide range of frequencies.  The bandwidth occupied by a UWB signal is on the magnitude of several GHz.  Many UWB proponents believe that because the signal's energy is transmitted across such a large range of frequencies, there is minimal interference with other signals. A UWB communication system can deliver data at extremely high rates (over 500 Mbps) up to 10 meters.  This technology has important commercial applications, especially in an office environment.

In my project, we used a pulse position modulation technique with time hopping to transmit a UWB signal.  Our goal was to design a receiver with low error rates based on the modulation scheme employed and the multipath channel model used.
