ABSTRACT
Ultra-Wideband (UWB) communication has been considered a revolutionary technology for transmitting large amounts of digital data over a broad frequency spectrum using short-pulse, low powered radio signals. UWB is an emerging technology with unique attractive features incorporating major advances in wireless communication, networking, radar, imaging, and positioning systems. UWB devices operate by employing a series of millions of narrow pulses that result in very wideband transmission bandwidths and is very promising for low cost sensor networks. This large bandwidth spectrum is available for high data rate communication. In addition, UWB signals can run at high speed and low power levels. These unique features of UWB technology make it suitable for many different applications such as positioning, geo-location, localization, radar/sensor applications, communications (high multipath environments, short range communications, and high data rates). This paper presents the unique features of UWB technology which can be effectively harnessed to create entirely new products and services in the telecommunication industry.
