ABSTRACT:
A system and method for fast synchronization of an incoming signal with a UWB receiver. The present invention synchronizes a UWB receiver with an incoming signal. The present invention correlates a local pulse generated at the receiver with the incoming signal, finds the value in the correlation function that would correspond to a high signal to noise ratio, thereby matching the receiver to the incoming signal phase, and operates the receiver at that phase. Exemplary options of fast synchronization include a maximum peak detector.
