A method for the spectral analysis of convolutionally coded Markov-driven impulse radio (IR)-based ultrawideband (UWB) systems is introduced. Example applications in UWB systems include the study of pulse position modulation (PPM), pulse-amplitude modulation (PAM), biorthogonal modulation, and pulse...
