**2.1. Transmitter**

The MIR-UWB transmitter is based on a multiband pulse generation followed by a modulator. The multiband pulse generator generates a pulse with a specified bandwidth for every subband. Subbands can be activated or deactivated using the bandplan. Different possibilities to generate theses pulses are shown in [30]. Each subband pulse will be modulated with different data, all subband pulses are summed up to a multiband pulse, amplified and transmitted. Figure 1 shows a transmitter based on an *oscillator bank* pulse generator.
