The impact of the type of implementation is considered on the IR-UWB channel capacity. This study is lead for analog and mostly digital implementation. Key parameters and theirs impacts on the channel capacity are exposed in each case: data converters for mostly digital implementations and pulse generators capabilities for analog implementations. These two implementations are compared from a data rate point of view. Their behaviors regarding an increase of the operating frequency are also studied
