Abstract
This paper presents a continuous pulse ultra-wideband (or C-UWB) UWB data link exploiting the spectral properties of "truncated sine waves." A truncated sine wave is a sine wave of finite duration - typically a low integer multiple number of periods. This paper further explores truncated sine wave pulses and presents several straightforward RF architectures suitable for implementing C-UWB systems. Finally, this paper presents results from a proof-of-concept C-UWB data link operating at 135Mb/s. C-UWB has a natural frequency diversity since each pulse occupies the entire UWB bandwidth.
