SUMMARY OR ABSTRACT
Text of Note
Ultra-wideband (UWB) communications and software defined radio (SDR) have been widely researched topics for the past several years. This is mainly because of the increased demand for robust, multi-purpose, and reconfigurable high data rate wireless communication systems with low energy consumption. Moreover, limited availability of RF spectrum bands for commercial use and variations of them from one country to another demand the wireless-capable devices to have greater re-configurability. Therefore, the communication systems of the future will not only have to allow multiple application usage, but also properly operate in a variety of environments with many other communication systems. Applications of these technologies range from short range battlefield military communication, interoperability of different radio signals, and wireless indoor data transfer and connectivity, to wireless sensor networks that require continuous data transmission.
