In time hopping impulse radio, N/sub f/ pulses of duration T/sub c/ are transmitted for each symbol. This gives rise to two types of processing gain: (i) pulse combining gain, which is a factor N/sub f/, and (ii) pulse spreading gain, which is N/sub c/ = T/sub f//T/sub c/, where T/sub f/ is the mean interval between two subsequent pulses. This paper investigates the trade-off between these two typ
