Abstract

UWB (ultra wide band) is an emerging technology for short-range wireless communications, such as WPAN (wireless personal area networks). In the context of UWB impulse radio, one of the crucial challenges remains the acquisition of synchronization in terms of time, precision and number of operations. In this paper, we present a study on the acquisition time for hybrid strategies; the analysis relies on common assumptions on the fading statistics and the multipath intensity profile, while the simulations consider the complete channel models adopted by IEEE 802.15.4a. The analysis and simulations highlight the advantages and drawbacks of this type of search strategies
