Ultra-wideband Radio Technology |
| Kazimierz Siwiak (TimeDerivative Inc., USA); Debra McKeown (TimeDerivative Inc., USA) |
| Ultra-Wideband (UWB) radio technology (RT) is a modern wireless signalling technique whereby very short baseband pulses are transmitted and received using a wide RF bandwidth. This technique re-uses previously allocated RF bands by spreading the pulse energy thinly in a wide spectrum, thus rendering signals imperceptible in the noise floor of conventional narrow band receivers. There are several methods of generating and radiating UWB signals, including a “low duty cycle UWB” and a high duty cycle “direct sequence phase coded UWB”. This book explains the technological basics and performance potential of UWB. UWB provides a simple cheap method for distributing high bandwidth data wirelessly. UWB products are due on the market in the next eighteen months.
Although UWB technology has become familiar in the market until now there has been no book dedicated to the technology Authored by an internationally recognised leading authority on UWB *Provides the foundations for understanding UWB technology *Discusses the Standards involved *Presents the technical details on how to provide a pulse *Offers comparisons with other technologies < | | |
