Abstract

A theoretical model for non-coherent start-of-frame-delimiter (SFD) detection in IEEE 802.15.4a is presented and closed form solutions for SFD threshold and signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) estimation are derived. The derived results are implemented in an impulse radio ultra wide band (IR-UWB) demonstrator operating in the 6-10.6 GHz UWB band. The demonstrator is designed for low power operation (in the mW range for combined digital base band (DBB) & radio frequency (RF)). The transmitter (TX) RF is duty cycled at pulse level and the receiver (RX) RF is switched to pulse level duty cycling when possible. Moreover, digital TX and RX resources are only switched on when needed. Measurement results are in close agreement with the derived closed form solutions.
