1. A communication method, the method comprising the steps of:

  • receiving an electromagnetic energy from a portion of a radio frequency spectrum;

    sampling the received energy, the sampling occurring in a time domain;

    converting the sampled energy into a frequency domain;

    analyzing the sampled energy in the frequency domain; and

    selecting at least one communication parameter based on the analysis of the sampled energy, the at least one communication parameter selected from at least one of a group consisting of;

    an ultra-wideband pulse recurrence frequency;

    a power of transmission;

    an ultra-wideband pulse shape;

    a communication frequency band;

    a communication channel; and

    a modulation method.
