Abstract
Transmitting an ultra wideband (UWB) signal in some embodiments comprises reducing power within a first sub-band with respect to a nominal power of the UWB signal within the first sub-band and correspondingly increasing power within a second sub-band with respect to a nominal power of the UWB signal within the second sub-band. An ultra wideband (UWB) transmitter comprises an input interface configured to receive data, a modulator configured to modulate received data into symbols and a power shaping component coupled to the modulator, configured to shape power density spectrum of a UWB signal being transmitted. Transmitting an ultra wideband (UWB) signal in some embodiments comprises determining whether to power shape the UWB signal; in the event that it is determined that the UWB signal is to be power shaped, reducing power within a first sub-band with respect to the nominal power of the UWB signal within the first sub-band; and correspondingly increasing power within a second sub-band with respect to the nominal power of the UWB signal within the second sub-band such that bandwidth of the UWB signal is maintained to be greater than or equal to a required bandwidth.
