Ultrawide Bandwidth Signals as Shot-Noise: a Unifying Approach
We present a shot noise based model for a large family of ultrawide bandwidth (UWB) signals. These include time-hopping and direct-sequence signaling with pulse position, interval, and amplitude modulations. Each specific signal is constructed by adding features to a basic model in a modular, simple, and tractable way. Our work unifies the contributions scattered in the literature and provides a general approach that allows various extensions of previous works as well as new results. The exact power spectrum is then evaluated using shot noise spectral theory, which provides a simpler, systematic, and rigorous approach to the spectra evaluation of complicated UWB signals. The strength of our methodology is that different features of the signal model contribute clearly and separately to the resulting spectral expressions.
