% FUNCTION 3.4 : "cp0303_PPM_random"
%
% Generation of a PPM-UWB signal in the case of
% a random modulating signal and rectangular pulses.
% The modulating signal is characterized by
% a normal distribution
%
% Transmitted Power is fixed at 'Pow'.
% The signal is sampled with frequency 'fc'.
% 'np' is the number of generated pulses.
% 'Ts' is the average pulse repetition period.
% Each rectangular pulse has time duration 'Tr'
% The random modulating signal is characterized
% by standard deviation 'sigma'
%
% The function returns the generated signal 'Stx',
% the corresponding sampling frequency 'fc'
% and vector 'M0' of all the PPM time-shifts
%
% Programmed by Guerino Giancola
