A novel pulse design algorithm for ultra-wideband communications

A novel algorithm is proposed to design time-limited pulse shapes for ultra-wideband communication systems. The new algorithm can be used to design pulses that not only conform to spectral emission constraints, but also achieve good bit error rate performance in multiple access interference environments. Compared with previously proposed pulses, the novel pulses provide the same multiple access performance as Gaussian monocycles, yet have advantages over them in terms of power spectrum and spectral emission constraints. Our pulse design algorithm provides a flexible and effective method for designing suitable pulses for ultra-wideband communication applications that comply with frequency emission constraints.
