Patent Images
1. An ultra-wideband receiver comprising:
- a template generator structured to generate a local signal similar to a plurality of incoming ultra-wideband signals;
a single correlator structured to correlate the plurality of incoming ultra-wideband signals with the local signal;
at least one filter in communication with the correlator;
an energy estimator in communication with the at least one filter; and
a pulse detector in communication with the at least one filter.

Abstract
A receiver for ultra-wideband communications is provided. One feature of the receiver architecture is that includes only a single correlator. The receiver may be used in wireless and wire communication mediums. The single correlator may be used to update a locally generated signal based on an incoming signal and detect data. 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.

24. An ultra-wideband receiver comprising:
-
a template generator that generates a local signal similar to a plurality of incoming ultra-wideband signals; a single correlator structured to update the local signal based on the plurality of incoming ultra-wideband signals and recover data; at least one filter connected to the correlator; an energy estimator connected to the at least one filter; and a pulse detector connected to the at least one filter.
