Method and device for detecting pulses of an incident pulse signal of the ultra wideband type
First Claim
1. Method for detecting pulses of an incident pulse signal of the ultra wideband type, comprising the incident signal (SGNR) being received in such a way as to obtain a base signal (SGB), sampling of an intermediate signal (SGI) representative of the sign of the base signal in such a way as to obtain a digital signal (SNM), and a digital processing of the digital signal comprising a correlation of the digital signal (SNM) with a predetermined correlation signal (SCR).

Abstract
A detection device includes an antenna for receiving an incident signal, and for delivering a base signal. A comparator receives the base signal and provides an intermediate signal representative of the sign of the base signal relative to a reference signal. A sampling circuit samples the intermediate signal for providing a digital signal. A digital processing circuit correlates the digital signal with a predetermined correlation signal.
