An intra-vehicular wireless sensor network is designed and implemented on a software-defined radio system. IUWB signal is chosen to carry the data packets. The MAC layer of the system follows the specification of the IEEE802.15.4 standard. The transceiver design, especially the receiver design, is detailed in the paper. The system design is validated through lab test setup. 1. Introduction and transmission latency as offered in the current wired system. This requirement differentiates the IV-WSN from the Modern vehicles are equipped with a multitude of sensors existing sensor networks and imposes a big challenge in the to collect data that are essential for proper operation of the design of the WSN, especially at the physical layer, which vehicle. These sensor data include vital information such determines the dat
