Evaluating the IEEE 802.15.4a UWB physical layer for WSN applications

Wireless communications are becoming an integral part of our daily lives such as wireless local area networks (WLANs) and wireless sensor networks (WSNs). Since more and more devices are going wireless today, it is essential that future wireless technologies can coexist with each other. Ultra...
