Early UWB concepts for communications have almost exclusively relied on impulse radio, where the whole available bandwidth, i.e., up to 7.5 GHz, is covered at once by means of very short pulses which are generated with a low duty cycle. Meanwhile, a bandwidth of 7.5 GHz is only available in the US [1, 3]. In Europe, the spectrum which is available with the same transmit power spectral density of -41.3 dBm/MHz ranges only from 6.0 to 8.5 GHz [4], if no detect and avoid techniques are applied1. A potential UWB system has therefore to be able to ’live’ with a mean transmit power of less than -7.3 dBm.
