  • the duration and duty cycle of the pulses vary with the particular medium being used.
  • a guided media such as telephone twisted pair
  • the practical range of duration of the center channel frequency of the pulses is between 300 KHz and 150 MHz, which equate to pulse durations of 2650 nanoseconds to 6.67 nanoseconds respectively.
  • the upper center channel frequency on telephone twisted pair is limited by the phenomenon of radiation which begins to occur around 100 MHz.
  • the overall duty cycle per unit of time is variable, and is dependant on the product of the pulse repetition frequency times a given pulse duration.
  • the minimum practical pulse repetition frequency is dependant on the acceptable jitter for a given window of time.
  • the length of the telephone twisted pair loop also plays a factor in which center channel frequency is used to achieve the maximum data rate at any particular transmission distance. The longer the loop, the lower the acceptable pulse center channel frequency.
  • the practical range of duration of the center channel frequency of the pulses is between 300 KHz and up to 2 GHz, which equate to pulse durations of 2650 nanoseconds to .50025 nanoseconds.
  • the appropriate center channel frequency is dependant on the gauge, or mixture of gauges of the guided medium, the proximity to sources of interference, the quality of the insulation, grounding, whether or not the cable is shielded, and other factors as may exist in a particular application or environment.
  • These pulses of the present invention are ultra wideband, and may be based on the
  • Gaussian waveform which are not gated sine waves, and various derivatives including, but not limited to, a first derivative Gaussian mono-pulse, a second derivative Gaussian doublet, etc., or combinations of one or more of these types of pulses.
  • pulses can also be formed by one or more waveforms that produce desired characteristics including, but not limited to fast rise time, ultra-wide frequency spread, unique time domain and frequency domain signatures, etc.
  • the pulses exhibit a unique time domain signature and wideband frequency domain signature.
  • the present invention's time domain signature is a result of the time shift keying of periodic pulses, which have well-defined zero crossing and peaks.
  • the present invention's pulses are recovered in the time domain by searching for the location of a specific amount of energy in a sample window.
  • the sent and received pulses are a time reference against which other pulses are measured.
  • the frequency domain signature is ultra wideband in nature because fast rise time pulses are used.
  • the pulses are therefore transmitted over a huge spread of frequency, and narrow-band, periodic signals are therefore excluded from consideration, including frequency domain signatures of sine-based waveforms, sawtooth waveforms, triangular waveforms, square waveforms, gated sine waveforms, and variants of those waveforms.
  • the pulse characteristics enable increased distance and data throughput performance of the system over existing technologies. Particular attention must be paid to the radiation of the pulse energy in unshielded metallic environments, such as telephone twisted pairs. For example, radiation occurs at approximately 100 MHz on a telephone twisted pair, which means relatively wide pulses, compared to those used over air, or a coaxial cable, must be designed for use in this high attenuation, high capacitance medium.
  • the advantage of the pulses of the present invention is their unique time domain signature.
  • This signature enables a receiving device to determine the location of a pulse through a process called correlation.
  • Correlation indicates a coincidence of energy when a replica of the sent pulse is multiplied by a received pulse signal.
  • This coincidence known as the auto-correlation (a form of correlation), enables the detection of the pulse position in very specific time locations.
  • the correlation process is used to detect pulses at very low signal to noise (SNR) levels, even down into the noise floor. The detection of these low
  • SNR level signals is possible due to the coincidence of energy versus the signal with respect to noise.
  • a pulse of the present invention spreads energy to beyond 25% of the center frequency which causes the signal to appear as noise to most narrowband, wave-oriented communication systems.
  • this characteristic limits the far-end and near-end crosstalk interference with other technologies operating on adjacent wires.
  • this characteristic allows pulse-based services of the present invention to co-exist on the same wire operating with other services such as, but not limited to voice, DSL, etc.
  • the pulses illustrated in Fig. Ia If are spread in frequency in excess of 400% of the center frequency.
  • the pulses of the present invention create power spectra that are dramatically wider than traditional spread spectrum technologies, which allow signals to be transmitted faster and further than traditional narrowband methods.
  • Alternating counter pulses are pulses in which the polarity of each pulse is 180 degrees out of phase with respect to the previous pulse.
  • the pulse train will begin to experience what is known as a DC offset.
  • the DC offset has a cumulative effect which drives the signal out of a suitable dynamic range.
  • the channel becomes very long.
  • FIG. 2 A is an illustration of a single impulse and the effect of the present invention's equalizer on that single impulse. This effect combats the cumulative DC offset, so that the received signal can be decoded using a peak-detect methodology.
  • An example of DC offset is shown in FIG. 2C.
  • FIG. 2B is an illustration of the present invention's alternating counter pulse scheme in which each pulse is generated 180 degrees out of the phase with respect to the previous pulse.
  • the signal is modulated to represent data using a single pulse amplitude and sixteen pulse position offsets. It is obvious to one skilled in the art that the pulse train's channel has been shortened dramatically. In addition, it is obvious to one skilled in the art that the received signal is very stable and the effect of DC offset has been successfully mitigated in order that the received signal can be easily decoded using a wide variety of methods.
  • FIG. 2C is an illustration of the present invention's alternating counter pulse scheme in which the signal is being modulated using a 4 PPM / 4 PAM scheme.
  • the benefit of being able to modulate the signal using 4 pulse positions (PPM) and 4 pulse amplitudes (PAM) means the broadband system of the present invention has more bandwidth that when the signal is modulated using a single amplitude and 4 pulse positions to represent data. There is a DC offset in the received signal, but it has not driven the received signal out of a suitable dynamic range.
  • the pulses of the present invention may be shaped spectrally to control the signal bandwidth, limit out of band emissions, in-band spectral flatness, time domain peak power, or adequate on-off attenuation ratios, etc.
  • the pulses maybe produced by various methods that are known to one of ordinary skill in the art.
  • the system of the present invention can also be used to transmit one or more data bits per pulse, or may use multiple pulses to transmit a single data bit.
  • An uncoded, unmodulated pulse train containing a regularly occurring pattern of pulses will produce in the frequency domain a set of comb lines within the power spectrum of a single pulse. These comb lines identify areas of peak power and can cause interference with other services transmitting on the same or nearby wire.
  • the energy can be spread more uniformly by using pseudo-random noise (PN) codes to dither each pulse in a pulse train relative to each pulse's nominal position.
  • PN code is a set of time positions that define the positioning for each pulse in a sequence of pulses.
  • the PN code can also be used to provide a method of establishing independent communication channels for multiple users, or devices operating over a single metallic medium. Multiple users, or devices, operating random individual clocks and different PN codes can be designed to have low cross correlation. Therefore, a pulse train using one PN code will statistically seldom collide with pulses using another PN code.
  • there are other methods of channelization on the same metallic medium such as, but not limited to time division multiplexing, frequency division multiplexing, etc.
