Abstract

The paper highlights some of the newest results achieved in the framework of the transmitter modeling for wideband access transmitters work package within the IST-EU network of excellence TARGET. Two cases of study have been considered to discuss the outcome, namely the IEEE 802.11a WLAN and the IEEE 802.15.3a UWB. A specific discussion about the subsystem modeling requirements in terms of key parameters allow the construction of subsystem models capable of numerical efficiency and accuracy. The subsequent insertion of such subsystem behavioral models allows fast and accurate co-simulations of complete transmitters for the performance investigation.
