Ankara : The Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering and the Institute of Engineering and Sciences of Bilkent University, 2011.Thesis (Master's) -- Bilkent University, 2011.Includes bibliographical references leaves 60-64.Coded-reference ultra-wideband (CR UWB) systems provide orthogonalization
of the reference and data signals in the code domain to facilitate communications
without the need for complex channel estimation and have significant
advantages over the previous techniques in terms of performance and/or implementation
complexity. This thesis presents a UWB testbed as a general experimental
platform to explore pulse-based UWB communications and discusses
design and implementation issues. A testbed is built as a flexible solution for
hardware implementation of a CR UWB system.Gürlevik, OsmanM.S
