Ultra Wideband Systems Technologies and Applications [Paperback]

Ultra wideband technology turns the radio spectrum available to wireless applications from a country road into a high-speed ten lane super freeway, and the destination is the future of wireless technology. UWB is a huge leap forward because it offers wide bandwidth with little interference, allowing multiple UWB signals to share a single channel. This multi-author volume, compiled under the guidance of Dr. Roberto Aiello, introduces the theory and concepts behind ultra wideband (UWB) systems as well as their applications. Authors include those involved in creating the UWB standards, researchers, and applications specialists.
This book has been broken down into three parts: introduction to UWB, different techniques available, and applications. Within these sections topics covered are UWB spectrum and regulations, UWB channels, modulation techniques, antennas, signal propagation, and UWB transceiver architectures. This book has all the information RF/wireless engineers will need to understand this burgeoning technology.

*An all-star list of contributors covers the subject more authoritatively than any single author could
*Discusses U.S. and international ultra wideband regulations
*Includes material on antenna systems and signal propagation at ultra wideband frequenciesIntroduction; History of UWB Communication Systems; UWB Spectrum and Regulations; Interference and co-existence; UWB wireless channel; UWB antennas for commercial communication applications; Impulse Radio; Direct Sequence; Multi-band; Spectral Keying; OFDM; Transceivers Architecture; Industry Standards; Commercial Applications; Role of UWB in the Wireless Industry.A thorough survey of ultra wideband technology by leading experts. Books on ultra wideband UWB have been pretty scarce. This technology only just emerged from secrecy and obscurity in the late 1990s, and reference works are rare. This once highly classified technology has come out of the closet sold
