Abstract
An ultra-wideband pulse modulation apparatus, system and method is provided. The pulse modulation method increases the available bandwidth in an ultra-wideband, or impulse radio communications system. One embodiment of the present invention comprises a pulsed modulation system and method that employs a set of different pulse transmission, or emission rates to represent different groups of binary digits. The modulation and pulse transmission method of the present invention enables the simultaneous coexistence of the ultra-wideband pulses with conventional carrier-wave signals. The present invention may be used in wireless and wired communication networks such as CATV networks.
Claims19
A method of transmitting data, the method comprising the steps of:
- providing a group of data;
- minimizing a probability of occurrence of a group of N binary values in the group of data;
- and
- assigning an elevated electromagnetic pulse transmission rate to at least one group of N binary values having an elevated probability of occurrence.
A computer program product for directing a general purpose digital computer to perform a desired function comprising:
- a set of computer readable instructions for minimizing a probability of occurrence of a group of N binary values in a group of data;
- and
- a set of computer readable instructions for assigning an elevated electromagnetic pulse transmission rate to at least one group of N binary values having an elevated probability of occurrence.
A method of transmitting data, the method comprising the steps of:
- means for providing a group of data;
- means for minimizing a probability of occurrence of a group of N binary values in the group of data;
- and
- means for assigning an elevated electromagnetic pulse transmission rate to at least one group of N binary values having an elevated probability of occurrence.
