Thesis Abstract:

The main goal of this thesis is designing the baseband module for wireless sensor networks. IEEE 802.15.4 Standard (Zigbee) is selected for implementation of transceiver in sensor networks. Modeling and simulation of PHY layer of Zigbee was done and the bit true model of system was extracted. Symbol timing recovery was considered in receiver model.
