1. For use in an ultra wideband (UWB) communication system, apparatus capable of directing selected UWB pulses to and from selected multiple users, the apparatus comprising:
- a wideband antenna structure having multiple arrays, each array having multiple antenna elements; and
means for separating UWB pulses into individual user streams of pulses and applying each user stream to the antenna structure in such a way as to generate individual user beams containing only pulses intended for those respective users.

Abstract
An ultra wideband (UWB) communication system and method for its use, allowing multiple users to communicate with the system without significant interference. The system includes multiple element antenna array, through which UWB pulses are transmitted to selected multiple users, by means of a selected combination of spatial multiplexing, frequency reuse and time slot reuse.
