Abstract:
1. A backplane for an electronic communication system, the backplane residing in a system housing, comprising: at least one ultra-wideband transmitter configured to transmit data in the form of a plurality of pulses in a wireless manner; at least one ultra-wideband receiver configured to receive the plurality of pulses and decode the plurality of pulses to retrieve the data; and a sequence sync generator configured to synchronize the ultra-wideband transmitter and the ultra-wideband receiver; wherein the data is to be transmitted wirelessly from a first module comprising the at least one ultra-wideband transmitter to a second module comprising the at least one ultra-wideband receiver within the electronic communication system, the first and second modules residing in the system housing; wherein the sequence sync generator provides a synchronization signal to both the ultra-wideband transmitter and the ultra-wideband receiver via a point-to-point electrical connection through the backplane, thereby allowing the plurality of pulses transmitted by the ultra-wideband transmitter to be received and identified by the ultra-wideband receiver.
