A system and method are provided that can detect any part of a multipath impulse
radio signal. More specifically, the method compares a template pulse train and
the multipath impulse radio signal to obtain a comparison result. The system performs
a threshold check on the comparison result. If the comparison result passes the
threshold check, the system locks onto any part of the multipath impulse radio
signal including a direct path part and at least one multipath reflection part.
The system may also perform a quick check, a sychronization check, and/or a command
check of the multipath impulse radio signal.
