“Impulse Radio: How it works”
by Moe Z. Win and Robert A. Scholtz,
January 1998
Impulse radio, a form of ultra-wide bandwidth (UWB) spread-spectrum signaling, has properties that make it a viable candidate for short wave communications in dense multipath environments. This letter describes the characteristics of impulse radio using a modulation format that can be supported by currently available impulse signal technology and gives analytical estimates of its multiple access capability under ideal multiple access channel conditions.
