Patent ID: 8630357

Claim:
An ultra-wideband receiver signal processor for processing a modulated ultra-bandwidth signal comprising: first signal rate converter for downshifting the modulated Ultra-wideband received signal to a first downshifted frequency signal; second signal rate converter for downshifting the modulated Ultra-wideband received signal to a second downshifted frequency signal; a first rectangular to polar converter coupled to the first signal rate converter for converting the first downshifted frequency signal magnitude to a polar magnitude; a second rectangular to polar converter coupled to the second signal rate converter for converting the second downshifted frequency signal to polar magnitude; a magnitude summer circuit coupled to said first and second rectangular to polar converters for summing the signal magnitudes of the outputs from said first and second rectangular to polar converters; and a signal detection and decoding circuit coupled to said magnitude summer circuit for detecting the received ultra-wideband signal; thereby facilitating the processing of the entire ultra-wideband bandwidth signal.
