Bridged ultra-wideband communication method and apparatus
First Claim
1. A communication system comprising:
- a receiver structured to receive a substantially continuous sine wave carrier signal, the signal modulated to contain communication data;
a demodulator communicating with the receiver, the demodulator structured to demodulate the communication data from the substantially continuous sine wave carrier signal; and
a transmitter coupled to the demodulator, the transmitter structured to transmit a plurality of electromagnetic pulses, with the pulses configured to include the communication data.

Abstract
Systems, methods and apparatus are provided for bridging data between different communication formats, or protocols. One embodiment of the present invention comprises a communication system that bridges data between a substantially continuous carrier wave format and an ultra-wideband format. The present invention may be used in wireless and wire communication networks such as hybrid fiber-coax-networks. This Abstract is provided for the sole purpose of complying with the Abstract requirement rules that allow a reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the disclosure contained herein. This Abstract is submitted with the explicit understanding that it will not be used to interpret or to limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.
