  • Abstract
    In this paper 1 we discuss the design issues of an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) receiver, targeting a single-chip CMOS implementation for low data-rate applications like ad hoc wireless sensor networks. A non-coherent transmitted-reference (TR) receiver is chosen because of its small complexity compared to other architectures. Issues, challenges and possible design solutions are discussed. In particular, an analysis of the trade-off between performance and complexity in an integrated circuit implementation is given.
