An overview of hardware requirements for UWB systems: interference issues and transceiver design implications

The widespread adoption of UWB systems will require some fundamental rethinking of issues of dynamic range and frequency planning in the design of both the transmitters and receivers. In particular, the deployment of a robust receiver, capable of high performance in a multiuser/multistandard environment, remains a real challenge. A summary of UWB transceiver radio frequency interference mitigation techniques is presented.
