RECEIVER, ARRANGEMENT, AND METHOD FOR ULTRA-BROADBAND TRANSMISSION

摘要

The invention relates to a coherent ultra-broadband receiver for detecting ultra-broadband pulses in a received ultra-broadband signal, comprising the following: - a receiving unit which is designed to receive an ultra-broadband signal with a frequency bandwidth of at least 1 GHz via an air interface and convert said signal into a received signal; - a correlator in the form of a passive filter to which the received signal is fed and which is designed to filter the received signal using only passive components and to output the signal at the correlator output as a correspondingly filtered received signal, wherein the passive filter has a pulse response that has a) a Fourier transform with a squared quantity which does not exceed a specified spectral mask, in particular a spectral mask in accordance with FCC or ECC standards, as a function of the frequency, and b) a time-inverted pulse response which defines an ultra-broadband pulse shape that can be detected by the ultra-broadband receiver, - whereby the passive filter is designed to generate and output a cross-correlation signal as the filtered received signal as a function of time relative to a reference instant, said cross-correlation signal corresponding to a cross-correlation of the received signal with the detectable shape of the ultra-broadband pulse.
