  • Method for the acquisition of impulse responses, e.g. for ultra-wideband systems
    Patent number: 11881967
    Abstract: There are disclosed techniques (e.g., apparatus, methods) for estimating an impulse response of a linear system. An apparatus is configured to generate a transmit signal on the basis of a first sequence. The apparatus is configured to obtain a receive signal and to multiply the receive signal with a second sequence, to obtain a modified receive signal, wherein the second sequence is different from the first sequence. The apparatus is configured to analog-to-digital, ADC, convert an integration result in order to obtain a sample value, the integration result being based on an integration of the modified receive signal over a period of time. The apparatus is configured to obtain an estimate of the impulse response on the basis of a plurality of sample values.
