A dual burst transmitter for ultra-wideband (UWB) communication systems generates a pair of precisely spaced RF bursts from a single trigger event. An input trigger pulse produces two oscillator trigger pulses, an initial pulse and a delayed pulse, in a dual trigger generator. The two oscillator trigger pulses drive a gated RF burst (power output) oscillator. A bias driver circuit gates the RF output oscillator on and off and sets the RF burst packet width. The bias driver also level shifts the drive signal to the level that is required for the RF output device.
An ultra-wideband (UWB) dual burst transmitter, comprising:
A method of generating a precisely spaced pair of ultra-wideband (UWB) RF bursts, each starting with the same phase, from a single input trigger pulse, comprising:
