Optimal correlator size for the TDSC-UWB detection method

This paper studies different aspects of the correlation process for a new TR-UWB detection method called Time Delayed Sampling & Correlation (TDSC). The TDSC concept is based on inter-correlation between two waveforms captured by two time delayed samplers. The objective is to determine different design parameters for silicon integration. In this paper we focus on the length of the correlation window and we give the minimum size of the register file in the waveform samplers; this value insures an optimal detection performance with indoor communication channels. In this work, all the simulations and validation use the IEEE 802.15.3a channel models.
