System and method for mitigating filter transients in an ultra wideband receiver

摘要

A system (600) and method (500) are presented for mitigating a transient in processing a received signal (710) in a signal path associated with an Ultra Wideband (UWB) receiver. An impending processing event associated with processing the received signal is detected. A processing element (201, 202, 203, 204) capable of generating a transient when activated, is activated prior to the processing event such that the transient is mitigated or cleared when the processing event occurs and the received signal is processed. At least a portion of the processing element is normally deactivated so as to conserve power. The processing event includes one or more of: an acquisition processing event, a lock processing event, and a tracking processing event associated with the received signal in the signal path.
