Infos

Ultra-wideband (UWB) has been among the most controversial
technologies of modern times. Its applications seem endless, its
capabilities miraculous and yet it is so poorly understood. In this
volume, the authors combine talents to de-mystify ultra-wideband
radio and explain it in language that is accessible to
non-technologists as well as technologists. They contrast UWB with
conventional radio technology so that fundamental, technically
accurate information devoid of specific technical and analytical
details is accessible for marketing managers, business developers,
engineering managers, technology managers, potential investors,
financial analysts, executive recruiters, technical writers, and
technologists from other fields. The authors also include enough
specific technical and engineering information about UWB, for the
seasoned technologists, engineers, scientists and academicians who
need to understand the topic at an entry level.

* Provides simple high level, conceptual discussions of UWB
followed with more detailed, scientific, mathematical, engineering
focused explanations

* Presents a global perspective by tracing UWB throughout the
history of radio, providing a modern basis for the re-emergence of
the technology and for the current regulatory and standards
activities

* Features insights into the reasons why the technology developed
the 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 unique
properties and advantages of UWB

Ultra-wideband Radio Technology will inform, educate and
inspire!...
