bandwidth of microstrip antenna is very low. So designing a
special microstrip antenna is difficult. The amplifiers used in
trans-receivers should be extremely low noise as the power
level of signal is way below the normal allowable noise floor
level. This is again a challenging task. Moreover the
sensitivity of the receiver should be extremely low. As the data
rate is high the ADC and DAC must also work at Msample/s
of rate and also provide high resolution. As the number of bits
are increased in linear fashion the complexity of the increases
exponentially.

From above figure it is clear the even the MAC layer for lower
data rate is different to that of high data rate MAC. Error
detection and correction blocks are added for HDR MAC as
huge chunk of data is transmitted while for LDR on error
detection is used in LDR MAC. The important issue is to
properly synchronize and add signaling bits at regular interval
in the data frame. So combiner must be efficient. This
technique helps in improving the performance of the system.
Now talking about the physical layer then differential BPSK
modulation technique is used for signaling bits while for HDR
OFDM based hybrid modulation scheme is used.
Another method is to decompose the signal in various subbands so that interference due to existing systems can be
reduced. The best way to mitigate interference is by the
combination of UWB and cognitive radio. Cognitive radio can
sense the environment and can make required changes
according to real time conditions. It helps in modifying the
