Abstract: Useful information taking the form of an analog or digital voltage is communicated between a transmitter and a receiver using UWB signals. The transmitter includes a subcarrier modulator, a high frequency oscillator and a transmission antenna and the receiver includes a reception antenna and an amplifier and a demodulator for discriminating the useful information in a signal received at the reception antenna. On transmission, the method generates a narrow frequency band high frequency carrier, modulates the high frequency carrier using a subcarrier with a modulation index at least equal to 10, and modulates the subcarrier using the useful information. On reception, the method demodulates the carrier to extract therefrom the subcarrier and demodulates the subcarrier to extract therefrom the useful information.

Abstract: Useful information is transmitted by means of a UWB signal from a sender comprising a UWB signal modulator and a send antenna to a receiver comprising a receive antenna and detection and demodulation means for discriminating the useful information in the signal received at the receive antenna. In the receiver, the signal received at the receive antenna is compared to a first power threshold value and transmission of the received signal to the detection/demodulation means is blocked if the power level of the received signal exceeds the first threshold value.

Abstract: The invention concerns a subassembly intended to be mounted in a portable device enabling the reception and/or emission of radio diffused messages as well as the selection of predetermined digital information. This subassembly comprises an antenna (4) and position sensors (6.1 to 6.12) disposed an a same isolating support (30). The subassembly is realised in manner such that mutual perturbations created by the combination of the antenna (4) and the position sensors (6.1 to 6.12) are avoided. The invention further relates to a horological piece (1) comprising such a subassembly wound in a peripheral region of the watch case (2).
