Introduction to Ultra Wide Band Communication Systems offers acomprehensive view of UWB system design, that spans propagation, antennas,receive and transmitter implementations, standards and regulations,interference issues, simulation techniques, modulation and multiple access,network issues, and applications. This book encompasses all areas of designand implementation of UWB systems crucial to their successful testing anddeployment.UWB offers unique capabilities, such as extremely high data rates, and buildingpartitions and ground penetrating transmission. The FCC acknowledged thebenefits of UWB when, in 2001, regulations were modified to allow thetransmission of UWB signals. The standardization effort has recently come tofruition with the creation of a new, regulated communication standard.However, a new standard brings along with it new regulations and equipment;and the design of UWB systems is very different than traditionalcommunication systems. The current general reference books for design ofcommunication systems are insufficient, and in some cases could be misleadingto a UWB designer. Furthermore, there is a tremendous need to unify thediverse concepts and fields of study embedded in the design of UWB systems.
