he mission (FCC) in [2], is more than 25% of a center frequency or more than 1.5GHz. Clearly, this bandwidth is much greater than the bandwidth used by any current technology munication. Second, UWB is typically implemented in a carrierless fashion. Conventional “narrowband” and “wideband” systems use Radio Frequency (RF) carriers to move the signal in the frequency domain from baseband to the actual carrier frequency where the system is allowed to operate. Conversely, UWB implementations can directly modulate an “impulse” that has a very sharp rise and fall time, thus resulting in a waveform that occupies several GHz of bandwidth. Although there are other methods for generating a UWB waveform (using a chirped signal, for example), in this paper, we focus on the impulse-based UWB waveform.
