Transmitter architecture for pulsed OFDM
A multi-band OFDM UWB system is the leading proposal for the new IEEE 802.15.3a standard for wireless high bit-rate personal area networks. Pulsed OFDM is an enhancement to the multi-band OFDM system that offers better performance with lower complexity and a correspondingly reduced power consumption. In this paper, the implementation issues and pipeline struchres of a pulsed OFDM transmitter are presented. In particular, architectural features of the system and its components are described and analyzed.
