Inhaltsangabe

UWB: Theory and Application covers the radio technology (RT) based on the transmission of very short time-domain pulses of the order of 100's of pico-seconds. The generation and receiver techniques render UWB technology ideally suited to very low cost, very low power implementations for short-range communications. The short time domain pulses also permit the use of UWB signals in positioning and tracking applications.
 
The book will focus on practical implementation issues including:
* An overview of signal generation techniques and corresponding circuits.
* A review of fabrication technologies.
* Antenna design issues and practical examples of antennas and their performance.
* The implementation limits will be highlighted for application areas.
 
The book is aimed at the specialist researcher interested in practical issues of UWB technology and realistic assumptions of UWB, as well as the engineer interested in implementing UWB devices.

Von der hinteren Coverseite

Over the past 20 years UWB has been used for radar, sensing, military communications and niche applications. However, since the FCC ruling in 2002, which allowed the commercial operation of UWB for data communications, UWB has changed dramatically.

Implementation oriented, this volume explores the fundamentals of UWB technology with particular emphasis on impulse radio (IR) techniques. It explains the key physical layer aspects of UWB technology, especially in communications and in control applications, and examines the multiple access (MAC) issues which are emerging as a hot area for practical UWB systems.

• Offers practical information about implementation
• Addresses issues of modulation possibilities, appropriate circuits for UWB, an example circuit design, MAC protocol issues and use of UWB for positioning applications
• Includes a literature survey examining books, articles and conference papers presenting the basic features of UWB technology and current systems
• Features a patent database search providing a historical perspective to the state-of-the-art technology

UWB Theory and Applications will be indispensable to researchers interested in the practical issues of UWB technology and realistic assumptions of UWB, as well as engineers interested in implementing UWB devices.
