Abstract
In this paper, we propose a digitally implementable synchronization method for the UWB system. This is achieved by manipulating the frequency components of a synchronizing signal which is the sequence of pulses of periodicity. We analyze the dependancy of the number of pulses and pulse interval on the intrinsic synchronization accuracy. Moreover, through the computer simulation, the performance of the proposed method is examined via varying system parameters.
