Multi-carrier transmitter for ultra-wideband (UWB) systems

摘要

System and method for a multi-carrier ultra-wideband (UWB) transmitter. A preferred embodiment comprises an UWB transmitter (for example, transmitter 300) taking advantage of both code division multiple access (CDMA) (for example, block 305) and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) (for example, block 315) techniques to create a multi-carrier UWB transmitter. The multi-carrier UWB is capable of avoiding interferers by eliminating signal transmissions in the frequency bands occupied by the interferers. An alternate embodiment using intermediate frequencies and mixers is also presented.
