Methods and systems for ultra wideband (UWB) receivers

A method comprising:

• providing data to an ultra-wideband (UWB) transmitter comprising a controller circuit for transmission by the ultra-wideband (UWB) transmitter;
• wherein
• the data for transmission by the UWB transmitter has been encoded with a process comprising merging at least a first pulse N-bit symbol with a second pulse N-bit symbol to generate an R-pulse 2N-bit Encoded Bundle Pulse Modulation (EBPM) symbol;
• and
• R and N are positive integers greater than or equal to 2.

• R and N are positive integers greater than or equal to 2;
• and
• the first pulse N-bit symbol and the second pulse N-bit symbol are a pair of a plurality of pulse N-bit symbols combined to form the R-pulse 2N-bit EBPM symbol.
