The advantages of UWB technology-based solutions in terms of cost, size, and power consumption fulfill the requirements of the microsensor node used in the wireless sensor network. Moreover, its capability for high data transmission in a short distance facilitates the gateway nodes to transmit data.
Challenge: Complexities in channel estimation for UWB communications
Channel estimation is one of the most important parameters considered while designing a receiver for deployment in any wireless communications network. The receiver used in the UWB-based wireless communication system correlates the received signal with a predefined template signal. However, as a result of the extremely wide bandwidth and very low signal energy, a short pulse used in UWB technology undergoes pulse distortion, thereby making channel estimation in the UWB-based communication system highly complicated. Furthermore, the large frequency band of UWB increases the antenna swap-out (or additions), as well as the complexity of antenna counts, which makes the channel estimation more difficult.
