In this paper we consider the design of spectrally efficient time-limited pulses for ultra-wideband (UWB) systems using an overlapping pulse position modulation scheme. For this we investigate an orthogonalization method, which was developed in 1950 by Löwdin [1] and [2]. Our objective is to obtain a set of N orthogonal (Löwdin) pulses, which remain time-limited and spectrally efficient for UWB systems, from a set of N equidistant translates of a time-limited optimal spectral designed UWB pulse. We derive an approximate Löwdin orthogonalization (ALO) by using circulant approximations for the Gram matrix to obtain a practical filter implementation as a tapped-delay-line [7]. We show that the centered ALO and Löwdin pulses converge pointwise to the same square-root Nyquist pulse as N tends to infinity. The set of translates of the square-root Nyquist pulse forms an orthonormal basis for the shift-invariant-space generated by the initial spectral optimal pulse. The ALO transformation provides a closed-form approximation of the Löwdin transformation, which can be implemented in an analog fashion without the need of analog to digital conversions. Furthermore, we investigate the interplay between the optimization and the orthogonalization procedure by using methods from the theory of shift-invariant-spaces. Finally we relate our results to wavelet and frame theory.
► We have proposed a new pulse design for UWB-IR providing high spectral efficiency.
► N-ary OPPM transmission by keeping almost orthogonality.
► Proofing stability and convergence to a Nyquist pulse.
