Over the past 20 years UWB has been used for radar, sensing,military communications and niche applications. However, since theFCC ruling in 2002, which allowed the commercial operation of UWBfor data communications, UWB has changed dramatically.
Implementation oriented, this volume explores the fundamentalsof UWB technology with particular emphasis on impulse radio (IR)techniques. It explains the key physical layer aspects of UWBtechnology, especially in communications and in controlapplications, and examines the multiple access (MAC) issues whichare emerging as a hot area for practical UWB systems.
* Offers practical information about implementation
* Addresses issues of modulation possibilities, appropriatecircuits for UWB, an example circuit design, MAC protocol issuesand use of UWB for positioning applications
* Includes a literature survey examining books, articles andconference papers presenting the basic features of UWB technologyand current systems
* Features a patent database search providing a historicalperspective to the state-of-the-art technology
UWB Theory and Applications will be indispensable toresearchers interested in the practical issues of UWB technologyand realistic assumptions of UWB, as well as engineers interestedin implementing UWB devices.
