Analysis of Timing Accuracy and Sensitivity in a RF Correlation-Based Impulse Radio Receiver With Phase Interpolation for Data Synchronization

This paper presents an analytical method for the performance evaluation of the correlation-based impulse radio (IR) receivers, which detect the data based on synchronizing the received signal with a locally generated template pulse. In this paper, a phase interpolation technique is employed to preserve synchronization accuracy with low power consumption. The analytical method computes the spectral...
