Method and transceiver for full duplex communication of ultra wideband signals
First Claim
1. A method for full duplex communication of ultra wideband signals, comprising:
- transmitting a first ultra wideband signal from a first ultra wideband transceiver, the first ultra wideband signal having a first repetition rate, wherein the first repetition rate indicates a number of pulses of the first ultra wideband signal in a time period; and
receiving a second ultra wideband signal at the first ultra wideband transceiver, the second ultra wideband signal having a second repetition rate selected relative to the first repetition rate to reduce interference, wherein the second repetition rate indicates a number of pulses of the second ultra wideband signal in the time period and the second repetition rate is different from the first repetition rate.

Abstract
An impulse radio transceiver for full duplex ultrawide-band communications. The transceiver comprises an impulse radio transmitter that transmits impulse radio signal pulses, an impulse radio receiver that receives impulse radio signal pulses. Either or both of the impulse radio transmitter and the impulse radio receiver synchronizes the transmission and the reception of the impulse radio signal pulses for the pulse interleaved communications. Pulse interleaving avoids self-interference between the transmitted impulse radio signal pulses and the received impulse radio signal pulses. In addition to pulse interleaved communications, bursts of pulses can be transmitted between two transceiver in an interleaved fashion. Alternatively, two different pulse repetition rates are used to transmit and receive impulse impulse radio signal pulses simultaneously. Still further, selected pulses of the received or transmitted impulse radio signal pulses are blanked to avoid interference.
