Abstract
Ultra Wideband (UWB) systems are receiving recently more attention due to its approval by FCC. The systems that have been already implemented are based in analog correlation. This thesis is part of an effort to implement a wholly digital Ultra Wideband receiver. Synchronization of a signal is a first step to perform the correct demodulation of the data contained in it. It is a problem whose complexity does not scale linearly with the bandwidth of the received signal. In UWB bandwidths are over 1 GHz, and the synchronization process has an important impact in the overhead needed in each data packet compared to the amount of information. In this thesis, the synchronization subsystem of an all digital UWB receiver is designed, taking into account the specific properties of UWB signals.
