Ultra-wideband (UWB) has been among the most controversialtechnologies of modern times. Its applications seem endless, itscapabilities miraculous and yet it is so poorly understood. In thisvolume, the authors combine talents to de-mystify ultra-widebandradio and explain it in language that is accessible tonon-technologists as well as technologists. They contrast UWB withconventional radio technology so that fundamental, technicallyaccurate information devoid of specific technical and analyticaldetails is accessible for marketing managers, business developers,engineering managers, technology managers, potential investors,financial analysts, executive recruiters, technical writers, andtechnologists from other fields. The authors also include enoughspecific technical and engineering information about UWB, for theseasoned technologists, engineers, scientists and academicians whoneed to understand the topic at an entry level.
* Provides simple high level, conceptual discussions of UWBfollowed with more detailed, scientific, mathematical, engineeringfocused explanations
* Presents a global perspective by tracing UWB throughout thehistory of radio, providing a modern basis for the re-emergence ofthe technology and for the current regulatory and standardsactivities
* Features insights into the reasons why the technology developedthe way it did
* Explains the key advantages of UWB, including its bandwidth,potential simplicity and huge system capacity
* Discusses the applications of UWB in terms of the uniqueproperties and advantages of UWB
Ultra-wideband Radio Technology will inform, educate andinspire!...
