Abstract

This paper proposes an IR-UWB radio interface layer which is able to deal with WSN context. With this intention, we present a reconfigurable IR-UWB with directional antennas and localization capability at 60 GHz. We introduce the advantages of using the millimeter band, directional antennas, localization and the reconfigurability. We also propose some implementations on a FPGA receiver.
