ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to systems and methods for wireless and wired optical data communications, in particular infrared data communications using techniques borrowed ultra wideband (UWB) radio.An optical data communications receiver for receiving data encoded using optical pulse position, the receiver comprising: an optical signal reception device; a reference signal memory for storing a reference channel response signal; and a correlator coupled to said reference signal memory and to said optical signal reception device for correlating a received optical pulse with said stored reference channel response signal to determine said optical pulse position; an output coupled to said correlator to provide pulse position data for said received optical pulse.
