Abstract

This paper presents an architecture of an IR-UWB MB-OOK non-coherent transceiver realized at Mitsubishi Electric. Channel measurements in real indoor environment based on this realized prototype are provided. The different components of this transceiver are described. A comparison between the use of directional and omnidirectional antennas at both emission and reception is presented. Then, a data rate estimation of the communicating system is given. Measurements are performed for both LOS and NLOS short-range indoor communications.
