Design of the Orthogonal UWB Pulses with the Cognitive Radio Applications

In this paper, a method for the design of non-linear phase, full-band, UWB pulses that satisfy any given spectrum mask is described. The method uses convex programming in each step of the iterative procedure that updates the phase distribution of the goal function. Thanks to its mathematical structure, method performance is much better than the performance of similar methods found in literature. Techniques of adapting pulses waveforms for the cognitive radio applications are described; pulses waveforms are modified in order to achieve low interference to the victim systems.
