Link level prototypes

Chapter 4 described the design and selection of the short range communication air interfaces tailored to Personal Networks application. These air interfaces consist of a low data rate (LDR) FM-UWB system and a high data rate (HDR) MC-SS system. The present chapter focuses on the hardware and software design and implementation that was carried out to prove the aforementioned concepts and to assess the performance of these air interfaces, taking into account all the impairments coming from a real hardware implementation, as well as the impact of real usage conditions.
