Abstract
A narrowband impulse radio system includes a transmitter, transmitting a plurality of harmonic signals, and a receiver, receiving the signals, wherein the signals cooperate in a constructive alignment to yield a narrowband impulse signal of amplitude approximately equal to the sum of the amplitudes of the plurality of harmonic signals. The transmitter or the receiver may employ a plurality of phase shifters to effect the cooperation in the transmitted or received signals, respectively. The harmonic signals cooperate to yield a quasi-DC signal whose pulse rate equals the fundamental harmonic frequency. In a preferred embodiment, the narrowband impulse transmitter further includes a plurality of transmit modules each transmitting one of the plurality of harmonics. The plurality of transmit modules may employ magnetic antennas characterized by a magnetic axis aligned at an angle of approximately 55 degrees relative to a common axis, or in other embodiments, may employ mechanically rotating permanent magnets.
