Abstract
In this thesis we are focused in some performance and implementation issues in a multiband OFDM Ultra-Wide Band (UWB) system. For performance, we have verified the performance by comparing the performance through Matlab simulation and Simulink model, to justify both of the systems are working in a correct way. Meanwhile for the implementation, we are trying to get a comprehensive understanding of the system by a new approach: via the Simulink model. The simulink will verify the correctness of the algorithm and generate test vectors for the hardware design. Besides, we have also implemented the de-interleaver for the UWB receiver and proposed a new method to improve the related parameters for UWB interleaver and de-interleaver, such as the latency and the area.
