Abstract :

[en] Wireless body area networks (WBAN) applications benefit extensively from the advantages offered by the unique features of ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless communication. This chapter focuses on the hardware implementation of UWB-based sensor nodes for WBAN applications. Different realizations of UWB sensor node architectures are described and a critical analysis of their suitability for WBAN applications is presented. Implementation of narrowband (NB)-based WBAN systems that can be found in the literature is discussed in order to compare their performance with the UWB systems. The design techniques for the implementation of an impulse radio UWB (IR-UWB) sensor node are presented paying attention to the UWB pulse generation and data modulation. © 2014 Springer Science+Business Media New York.
