| Impulse Radio: How It Works |
| Moe Z Win and Robert.A. Scholtz |
| Impulse radio, a form of ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) spread-spectrum signaling, has properties that make it a viable candidate for short range communications in dense multipath environments. This letter describes the characteristics of impulse radio using a modulation format that can be supported by currently available impulse signal technology and gives analytical estimates of its multiple access capability under ideal multiple access channel conditions. 3 pages. |
