SYSTEMS RELATING TO ULTRA WIDEBAND BROAD CASTING COMPRISING DYNAMIC FREQUENCY AND BANDWIDTH HOPPING

A receiver circuit and method of receiving data are described. The receiver circuit supports operation as an impulse radio receiver having dynamic configuration. The receiver circuit comprises a front end amplification circuit for amplifying received radio frequency (RF) signals from an antenna; a squaring circuit electrically coupled to the front end amplification circuit for receiving amplified RF signals; an integration circuit electrically coupled to an output of the squaring circuit; and an N-bit flash analog-to-digital converter (ADC) electrically coupled to the integration circuit and generating N multiple output signals; wherein N is a positive integer and N□2.
