This work presents a low-cost Ultra-Wideband (UWB) test-bed for impulse radio communications and sensing. The design was conceived for generic algorithm implementa-tion and testing over a modular and simple architecture. The hardware design is based on commercially available components and is capable of achieving a 1 GHz bandwidth with a central frequency of 4.2525 GHz. The test-bed architecture is presented and discussed then, some measurements over the prototypes are shown.
