Full duplex ultrawide-band communication system and method

An impulse radio transceiver for full duplex ultrawide-band communications, comprising:

• an impulse radio transmitter that transmits first bursts of impulse radio signal pulses;
• and
• an impulse radio receiver that receives second bursts of impulse radio signal pulses;
• wherein one of said impulse radio transmitter and said impulse radio receiver is configured to synchronize said transmission of said first bursts of impulse radio signal pulses and said reception of said second bursts of impulse radio signal pulses for burst interleaved communications to avoid interference between said transmitted first bursts of impulse radio signal pulses and said received second bursts of impulse radio signals pulses.

An impulse radio transceiver for full duplex ultrawide-band communications, comprising:

• an impulse radio transmitter that transmits first impulse radio signal pulses at a first pulse repetition rate;
• and
• an impulse radio receiver that receives second impulse radio signal pulses at a second pulse repetition rate, wherein said second pulse repetition rate is different than said first pulse repetition rate;
• wherein one of said impulse radio transmitter and said impulse radio receiver is configured to synchronize said transmission of said first impulse radio signal pulses and said reception of said second impulse radio signal pulses to minimize interference between said transmitted first impulse radio signal pulses and said received second impulse radio signal pulses.
