摘要： An identification tag is provided in which radio frequency (RF) circuitry and ultrawide bandwidth (UWB) circuitry are both provided on the same tag, along with some UWB-RF interface circuitry. The RF circuitry is used to detect when the identification tag must be accessed, and is used to connect the UWB circuitry with a power supply. The UWB circuitry then performs the necessary communication functions with a distant device and the power supply is again disconnected. In this way the power supply is only accessed when the UWB circuitry is needed and it's usable lifetime can be maximized.

摘要： An ultra-wide band (UWB) waveform receiver with noise cancellation for use in a UWB digital communication system. The UWB receiver uses a two-stage mixing approach to cancel noise and bias in the receiver. Self-jamming is prevented by inverting a portion of the received signal in the first mixer and then coherently detecting the partially and synchronously inverted signal in the second mixer. Since the drive signals on both mixers are not matched to the desired signal, leakage of either drive signal does not jam the desired signal preventing the receiver from detecting and decoding a weak signal.

摘要： A transceiver 400 is provided in an ultrawide bandwidth device, which includes an antenna 110, a transmitter circuit 145, and a receiver circuit 165. A transmitter amplifier 440 is provided between the antenna 110 and the transmitter circuit 145, and is configured to have an operational transmitter output impedance when the transceiver 400 is in a transmit mode and an isolation transmitter output impedance when the transceiver 400 is in a receive mode. A receiver amplifier 460 is provided between the antenna 110 and the receiver circuit 165, and is configured to have an operational receiver input impedance when the transceiver 400 is in a receive mode and an isolation receiver input impedance when the transceiver 400 is in a transmit mode. The isolation transmitter output impedance is greater than the operational receiver input impedance, and the isolation receiver input impedance is greater than the operational transmitter output impedance. Thus, a transmitter and receiver can be isolated without using a transmit/receive switch.

摘要： A raking receiver is provided in a wireless network. The raking receiver includes an antenna, first through Nth wavelet forming networks, first through Nth weighting mixers, a summer, a path mixer, and a signal processing circuit. The antenna receives an incoming signal. The first through Nth wavelet forming networks produce first through Nth locally generated wavelets. The first through Nth weighting mixers multiply the first through Nth locally generated wavelets by first through Nth weighting values, respectively, to produce first through Nth weighted wavelets. The summer adds together the first through Nth weighted wavelets to produce a weighted correlation input signal. The path mixer multiplies the incoming signal with the weighted correlation input signal to produce a correlated signal. And the signal processing circuit receives the correlated signal and produces a digital bit value. N is preferably an integer greater than 1.

摘要： An ultra-wide band (UWB) waveform generator and encoder for use in a UWB digital communication system. The UWB waveform is made up of a sequence of shaped wavelets. The waveform generator produces multi-amplitude, multi-phase wavelets that are time-constrained, zero mean, and can be orthogonal in phase, yet still have a −10 dB power spectral bandwidth that is larger than the frequency of the peak of the power spectrum In one embodiment, the wavelets are bi-phase wavelets. The encoder multiplies each data bit by an n-bit identifying code, (e.g., a user code), resulting in a group of wavelets corresponding to each data bit. The identifying codeword is passed onto the UWB waveform generator for generation of a UWB waveform that can be transmitted via an antenna.
