Carna Zivkovic presents NXP-related SystemC-AMS UWB verification and process-variation modeling
Carna Zivkovic presents a SystemC/SystemC-AMS model of a UWB transmitter, channel and receiver, comparing behavior with MATLAB and hardware measurements and examining how receiver gain/noise variations affect packet errors and sensitivity. The cover identifies her as an external contractor, not an NXP employee appointment. The slides credit Shrief Rizkalla as the main author of earlier work and Zivkovic as presenter. This Event records the December presentation and its statistical-model extension, not first publication of the underlying UWB research.
