Patent ID: 7970047

Claim:
An ultra-wideband (UWB) receiver, comprising: an amplifier having an input line and an output line, said input line electrically coupled to a common input line, wherein said amplifier, said input line, and said output line are configured as a feedback loop so as to electronically loop a preamble of ultra-wideband reference pulses on said common input line, wherein said feedback loop provides for the suppression of interference and noise and enhances the signal to noise ratio of a resultant strong reference pulse; a controller circuit connected to said amplifier output line and configured to redirect one or more bipolar modulated data pulses on said common input line to a second predetermined line for processing by multiplying with said resultant strong reference pulse from said amplifier output line; and an integrator electrically configured to integrate a received multiplied product signal that comprises the multiplied product of said strong reference pulse and each of said one or more bipolar modulated data pulses, wherein said integrator produces a binary output that is electronically analyzed to determine encoded data.
