Abstract

A wireless communication device is provided. The wireless communication device executes digital processing for a received UWB signal with use of an A/D converter having an adequate sample rate and resolution, and thus can obtain precise reception timing information. Since the sample rate of an A/D converted output is high, a timing detection circuit is formed of two-stage matched filters. The former-stage chip matched filter calculates the correlation between an input signal and a template signal. When a correct transmission pulse signal has arrived, the chip matched filter outputs to a frame matched filter an indication as to the presence of a pulse and reception timing. The latter-stage frame matched filter calculates the correlation value between a received frame signal and a spreading code to thereby determine whether the received frame is correct or incorrect, and adequately changes a threshold value of the chip matched filter.
