Effects of array geometry and system imperfection on the performance of the digital channelization based UWB direction finder

Abstract

Ultra Wideband (UWB) technology, owing to its potential to deliver very high data rates with very good resilience to multipath fading, is a premier candidate for short range wireless and localization applications. But wideband technology brings with it constraints of its own. Due to the wide swath of frequencies in the bandwidth of UWB, the receiver design is distinctly different from counterpart narrow band technologies.
