ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods of ultra-wideband communication are provided. In one embodiment, an ultra-wideband communication system divides a stream of data conveying symbols into a plurality of unspread substreams. A common spreading code is generated at the ultra-wideband transmitter, and each of the unspread substreams are spread using the common spreading code to form a plurality of spread substreams. The spread substreams are combined to form a composite signal that is transmitted. This Abstract is provided for the sole purpose of complying with the Abstract requirement rules that allow a reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the disclosure contained herein. This Abstract is submitted with the explicit understanding that it will not be used to interpret or to limit the scope or the meaning of the claims.
