Patent ID: 7167525

Claim:
An ultra-wideband communication system for a wire medium, comprising: a group of twisted pair wire media; an ultra-wideband transmitter structured to transmit an ultra-wideband pulse through a twisted-pair wire medium of the group; and an ultra-wideband receiver structured to receive the ultra-wideband pulse from the twisted-pair wire medium, and structured to disregard signals induced from other twisted pair media of the group; wherein the ultra-wideband transmitter comprises: a data processor; a pulse generator communicating with the data processor, the pulse generator configured to generate a plurality of electromagnetic pulses; at least one amplifier communicating with the pulse generator; at least one filter communicating with the amplifier, wherein the at least one filter comprises at least two band-pass filters; and wherein a frequency response of a first band-pass filter is distinct from the frequency response of a second band-pass filter.
